I read in my quiet time this morning in Psalm 9:9 that God is my refuge. Refuge is defined as shelter or protection from danger. No matter what I go through each day, I know without a doubt my God is there for me. That is awesome. I will never tire of that fact, I am so thankful for it. I didn't want to go to work today. Despite what my body and my mind were saying, I got up when my alarm went off, I got ready, I had my coffee and ate some breakfast and I enjoyed time with God. There is no better way to start the day. It made my day! I had joy in my heart and mind as I went throughout my day because I chose it. God was there for me in my time of need, my bad mood this morning. Because I chose to seek Him in the first moments of my day, He lovingly provided just what I needed.
163 days....
163 days. I can't believe it's been nearly 32 years since we officially began our life together. I remember when you asked me to marry you on a fun evening out for a festive holiday get away to see the lights at Silver Dollar City in December of 1993. Mike and Amy joined us, and little did I know they were in on the secret and knew what was coming. You surprised me as you and I had a moment in the wilderness chapel, and you got down on one knee and asked me....it was yeah, a storybook, fairy tale, all the feels kind of moment! My Ry is really a romantic and an absolute charmer at heart. I can't imagine it being any other way. It doesn't feel like it's been over 30 years. A lot of life has happened since those early days when we'd only been together for about 9-10 months. I knew I was going to marry you just a month into our relationship. I knew God gave you to me, and me to you. 163 days til we celebrate another yea...
