Q Crashing

Join me and my wife, Audrey along with Amber @ The Run a Muck , as we write our marriage letters to shine light on the joy and truth of marriage, along with the struggles.  Marriage is worth fighting for. Audge, I knew you loved me when we found a rock that was perfect in Mentone.  When our hands met in the forest and beauty of nature was eclipsed by the beauty of that moment. I know you love me when the couch becomes our new perfect place, or the bench, or the car, anywhere where we can be close enough to understand each other without words. I knew you loved me when you charged in beside me.  Into whatever battle, mission, or story that God is orchestrating for us.  You hold on and move forward.  For longer stretches than I thought possible.

But they do cause they are eternal and right. They are the pathways carved before  time farther away than our sight is able to see. And standing there is you. Somehow a gift is given in the ...

Me and Audrey are joining in on a thing some bloggers are doing called Marriage Letter Mondays.  This is in a hopes to shed transparency on marriages and encourage others in their own marital experiences.
