Two years ago today I married my wife Jane.
Meeting Jane changed my life, we were connected to each other from the beginning and shared so much in common, we fell in love almost right away.
However one big thing we did not have in common was our belief in God. I was always a believer while Jane was agnostic.
I had many discussions with her about it that led nowhere. I was frustrated, I felt like I needed to save her.
But the truth was God needed to save us both. While my belief was strong, my actions and the way I lived my life was not the way God would want.
I decided to get closer to Christ, however I didn’t realize God was working his way into Jane’s heart as well.
She came to me one day and asked to go to church, I was shocked. After many services, discussions, bible readings, book readings and many many videos on YouTube. I asked her why she still wasn’t calling herself a Christian.
She looked down and said “Because I don’t feel I am worthy”
I told her, “None of us are.” She smiled and looked up, I looked down at her and gave her a hug.
She accepted Christ that day.
When she did her smile lit up the room. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. When she offered her heart to Jesus, He took it, like He always will to anyone who asks.
God was there for us, holding us together through all of our ups, downs, the losses, the pain and He was there to celebrate all the joyous moments in our life.
When it came time for the wedding we really stressed out about it. I will say my wife did an amazing job finding high quality items for really good prices. She did tremendous.
Our church was there for us too, we were going back and forth on locations, every venue seemed to be to expensive or just wouldn’t fit.
After Church one Sunday our Pastor looked at us and said, “Why don’t you just have the wedding here?”
Man did that turn out to be a huge relief.
It was the Church’s first wedding and the first time our Pastor officiated one (I think the Pastor’s Mother was just as excited as we were).
A lot of people helped us along the way and I thank all of you.
Most importantly thank you God, Who helped us and continues to do so each and every day.
The wedding was beautiful and we loved every moment of it.
But of course we look forward to another wedding, as do many believers. The marriage of Christ and His Believers.
That will truly be the greatest day in all of our lives.
Have a Blessed Week,
Chris
