| Our Wedding Day - December 20, 2004 |
I am at a loss for the words that would do justice for how I feel about my husband, Malachi. Apart from my relationship with the Lord, I cherish my husband above all things. He has been a faithful companion, more gracious to me than any other human. As far as friends are concerned, he is my best one; never taking me or my affections for him for granted. He is the kindest, most patient, and gentle man I have ever known. He knows the darkest parts of my past and yet has always made it known that he is proud of me. I pray each day that the Lord would make me half the spouse that Malachi is to me. My husband is my "Knight in Shining Armor" and has always come to my rescue when the world around me seeks to devour me. I feel secure and safe in his arms, and I know that I can always hide behind him when I need a break from it all.
The Lord chose the perfect husband for me, and I don't think eternity is enough time to spend each day thanking the Lord for Malachi. I love my husband with a love that even I find difficult to understand at times. My children have been blessed with a gift that I myself have never been given - parents who love the Lord and seek to serve Him exclusively. My little girls witness each day the tender kisses and loving hugs their father so affectionately lavishes me with daily. They watch quiet carefully when their daddy helps their mommy into the van on family outings, and pay close attention when he makes a B-line straight for me upon arriving home from work each day. One of my most important prayers is, should the Lord chose for my daughters to ever marry, that He bless them with a husband like Malachi - and that they will settle for nothing less.
Of all the people in my life and in this world, my sweet husband is my favorite! I love him more and more each day, and pray that I am the helpmeet to Him that God intended me to be. I cherish the many love letters that Malachi and I have in our possession. What a wonderful and priceless gift we have to pass down to our children when we are gone. During a difficult time before we married, Malachi wrote this to me in one of his many letters:
"When you want to hear from me and you are unable to get to a phone, just read all of these letters I gave you, the words on them are true to my heart and they do not fade with time."

I am truly blessed beyond measure and look forward to the next 7 years with my beloved!
Serving God and My Family,
