He is Faithful

Back when I had a blog about our life traveling before this one, I had written the post below. I think it's very important to remind yourself how God answers prayers and provides. I decided to share this past post again and will make a new post of all the things we've added since then.

He is Faithful
August 02, 2016

We are dedicating W at our church Sunday. Something I hope we will be able to teach and share with W as she grows up is how much God has done in our lives and how He answers prayers. I had this little reminder when this song came on the radio:

I used to listen to this song on replay and pray when I was going through a difficult time and dealing with depression before I met C. God has given me a husband who is the most perfect one for me, wonderful memories and experiences made with him, world travels to broaden our perspectives, people put in our life at the very right time we needed it who have become lifelong friends, a home and job for C close to family, and now the most precious gift, our daughter W. He really has turned my life into something beautiful.

My friend got C and I an Ebenezer box for our wedding gift. "The idea is that every time a blessing occurs, a trial is overcome, a need is met, or a prayer is answered in your marriage that you will write it on one of the cards and every year on your anniversary you open the Ebenezer and remember how God has been your help." There are so many times when God has answered our prayers and helped us in our marriage and I never want to forget what He has done.
