Anniversary Week Day 2


I am God, the only God you’ve had or ever will have—
incomparable, irreplaceable—
From the very beginning
telling you what the ending will be,
All along letting you in
on what is going to happen,
Assuring you, ‘I’m in this for the long haul,
I’ll do exactly what I set out to do,’
- Isaiah 46:9-11 (The Message)


It is so strange to think that from the beginning of my life, the beginning of time even, that God knew that Brian and I would be together.  Of course, you date other people and say the "I love yous" and think "is he the one", but God knew all along that Brian and I were meant to be together.  God knew from the first day I met Brian that I would fall in love.  He knew that we would only date 6 months before getting engaged and then another 6 months before we got married.  He knew it all.  He knew that the birth of our 3 children would change our lives forever and that that would make us both stronger, not only in our relationship with each other, but with him.  The story of how Brian and I met is a classic example of how God works.  We had no reason to meet that night.  I had no business trusting someone I had never met.  But God knew that we were soul mates, and he had made us for each other.  I know that our marriage has lasted 10 years and will last many more because God is at the center.
