How early does your day begin? A typical day for me starts with the alarm going off between 6:30 and 6:45. Today was no ordinary day. I had to work early, so my alarm went off at 5 am and my work day started at 6 am. After eight hours at work, I made a stop on the way home, then arrived home to find a bit of time to unwind before starting dinner and getting in my workout. I also made time for God, had my quiet time and thanked Him for his promises in His word to me today. No matter how my day goes, I can always count on God's word meeting my needs. There are things I enjoy doing in my life to find relaxation, balance and rejuvenation but first and foremost is my time with God. Some of my favorite things include reading a great book, enjoying a hot cup of tea and listening to a favorite cd. All those things are enjoyable, but nothing compares to time with my Lord.
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...
