In
the midst of our 25th wedding anniversary this year, we found ourselves
separate on two different countries and the passing of my father on his
birthday.
August 11th.
Looking back we were young yet we knew that the commitment that we were making seemed as natural as could be. I will never forget the advice given to me by an elderly woman as she exited the church on that evening. " This will be the hardest thing that you will ever do. Done right it will be a lot of work and will be one of your greatest gifts on this earth. Done with little work, it will be fleeting and will be one of your greatest regrets" . I remember being taken back by her almost biting words. They were mixed in with all of the typical happy and encouraging wedding sentiments. They didn't fit with the ceremonious occasion. Yet, hers were the words that would permeate my hear and mind.

It is
interesting that this is the advice I tend to give, also. Not on the
wedding day, that was a little shocking, but in light of marriage, I
have found it to be true. This has been my hardest work yet is the
greatest gift. We " started young" as many exclaim and shared life
together from the beginning. We've celebrated some life's greatest joys
such as being called to the mission field in Nicaragua and have walked
some of the darkest of life's journeys the darkest watching Trav lower
our daughter Taellor's coffin into the grave in Nicaragua. Together.
We could not have done any of it without God. He continually blesses us
greatly.
As I think back on the love that I felt for Trav that day. I couldn't have imagined loving anyone more....and yet, on that day, I didn't really have any concept of the depth that love could carry. A love that understands and above all else simply loves. God continues to guide us and we strive to be obedient. As I look at Trav today, I marvel at the man he is. I see God's hand upon his life and a man who seeks Him with His whole heart.
Quite simply, my very best friend.
