Remind me of my Vows

On today, the celebration of my 3rd marriage anniversary, i'm reminded of the vows I made to my husband as I agreed to this life-long commitment. I waltzed into marriage with starry eyes and all the optimism in the world but soon came to find out that love is much more than a fuzzy feeling. I pray daily for the grace to achieve these vows and much more. So, please be blessed.

To my one and only:

I often stop and think ‘Is this really happening to me?’ God has blessed me beyond my imagination as His Word promises. For all the years I waited for you I can truly say that every anticipatory moment, every past heartbreak, and every discomfort was worth it.

I passionately await the time that I will spend with you, embracing now and planning for the future. My mind broadens, my heart enlarges, and I am able to comprehend the vastness of the plan of God for our lives. I am overwhelmed, yet I know that as a team we will conquer.

I will be here for you. As long as God gives me the privilege to breath, I will stand by you. This is my commitment to you. May I be all that you’ve ever hoped for in a wife. May I stand as a pillar of faith in the God who has brought us this far. May I be a blessing to your entire family all the days of my life. And may joy abound continually in our home.

I will always love you in a way that supersedes the way that I feel. I am devoted to us. We are in this together and I am excited about what lies ahead. Let our new lives begin.
