Without sounding overly sentimental or glossy, I have to admit and profess how great a gift our relationship and life have been to me. God knew what He was doing, and knows still. Sarah and I have only just begun our life together in comparison to all that yet lies ahead, but we've already experienced and successfully navigated through many situations and circumstances that have grown, shaped, and unified us. We've also had countless moments of laughter, joy, gratitude, adventure, and enjoyment, which are either part of the gift of our marriage and faith or the result of our hard work.So, to celebrate our two-year anniversary this last weekend, what did we do? We chose another adventure of mishaps, fun, and relaxation at Blue Stem Lake, southwest of Lincoln. We have a trusty tent and all the necessary gear for a wonderful outing like this. But of course, along with swimming, grilling, walking, napping, Frisbee throwing, etc. also came the heat, the humidity, the nightly and morning storms, melted ice, sunburns, and similar "miseries". But as we weathered and encouraged each other through these things, we now have yet one more story to tell about the growing, shaping, and unifying, not only of our hearts, but also of God's heart (metaphorically speaking) to ours. We had a blast, got sufficiently soaked, burned, and bitten, and came out laughing as we recalled all the things we loved about the weekend and our life!
Here's to two days of continued adventure and gratitude for two years of life together. And here's to encouraging each of us to continue living our adventures and to continuing valuing all the things God gives us and puts into our lives!
More to come!
