10 Years Ago Today...

Ten years ago Terica and I took steps together into a new covenant with a new view of the world.

Since that day we've shared hundreds of life-shaping events. We've seen each other through good times and we've helped each other endure difficult times.

Through many conversations, questions and memorable moments we've unpacked some of our deepest dreams, hopes and aspirations. We decided a long time ago - together - to maintain the ideals and values we believe in. The direction and purpose we share offers tremendous hope for the journey that lies ahead.

We keep taking steps together - now able to stare at the footsteps that brought us here and confident the purposes of God will keep us moving toward what He has for us. Facing the next season of our life together will require radical commitment - and new thinking - as the journey is filled with change. We are determined to prepare for it.

Much of what lies ahead is unpredictable. The constant shifting and adjusting of our culture and world, means we can't freeze a moment-in-time to fix it forever.

So we will hold the scriptures, each other and the Hand of Christ as we take our next steps together. Only God knows what lies ahead. We will trust His lead, walk His way and follow in His steps.

I am quite certain that no man could ask for a greater wife, partner, friend and traveling companion. I am honored to walk the rest of my life with the wife of my youth and I resolve to do just that.

Job 23:11-12 - My foot has always walked in his steps; his way I have kept and have not turned aside. From the commands of his lips I have not departed; the words of his mouth I have treasured in my heart.
