On August 15, 1998, this was us:
Our wedding song:
Make Us One (by Kristy [Chamberlain] Tapper)
Lord, I thank you for this man you've given me.
When I think back I marvel at your plan.
We come from so far apart; Only You could take our hearts
And make them one.
I love this man. Father, thank you for giving him to me.
I love this man, and I commit to him only.
Now we've only just begun.
Increase our love, and make us one.
Lord, I think you for this woman here with me.
I can't believe how much I love her.
Our two lives are fully Thine
Take all that's hers and mine and make us one.
I love this woman. Father, thank you for giving her to me.
I love this woman, and I commit to her only.
Now we've only just begun.
Increase our love, and make us one.
We'll walk this life as man and wife.
I'll be holding his hand. Lord, hold us in your hands!
Now we've only just begun.
Increase our love, and make us one.
This August 15th, twelve(!) years later, we were thankful to still be holding each other's hands and finding God faithful to increase our love (sometimes in the two steps forward, one step back manner), make us one (still working here, too...that selfishness stuff is tricky), and take us on some adventures we never could have imagined! Love you, babe!

Happy Anniversary! Can you believe it's been 12 years?!
Keep up the GREAT work. It brings glory to God.
You said "I am a woman striving to live mindfully each day in order to fulfill the Lord's prayer: God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I continue to be amazed at His grace for such a quest."
Are you a christian (born again)?
