Life is an ocean
Love is a boat
in troubled waters it keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage
There was just ME and YOU. . . . . . .

Now gathered ’round us,
We have our own crew!

 

Tomorrow Rich and I celebrate our 11th year of marriage!

“For by Him were all things created, . . . . . .
all things were created by Him, and for Him:
He is before all things, and by Him
all things consist.”  Colossians 1:16a, c, 17

“If you live for your private pleasure at the expense of your spouse, you are living against yourself and destroying your own hightest joy.  But if you devote yourself with all your heart to the holy joy of your spouse, you will also be living for your joy and making marriage after the image of Christ and His church”  John Piper

“A woman was not made out of his head to top him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side, to be equal to him; under his arm to be protected; and near his heart to be loved.”  Matthew Henry

 

Rich and Shanda                  What God hath joined together. . . . . . .

  1. Very nice, Shan.  Isn’t it amazing how far we have grown since we have been married women?  In a way is seems like not long ago we were brides.  Now we are mommies with families. 
    Wishing you and Rich a great anniversary celebration!
    Love You!

  8. Sis, has it been 11 years already. I was in the wedding and it seems like yesterday. I love you, Rich, and the kids so much. Have a great time this weekend. I’ll call A & J to see how they are making out with baby sitting.

  16. What beautiful wedding pictures! You are such a nice looking couple and I’m so happy for both of you. Congratulations on 11 years of marriage and on all of the beautiful blessings the Lord has seen fit to bring forth out of your marriage!
    Thank you so much for coming by and commenting……the comments have been such an encouragement to us as we have walked through this valley with little Kyran. The Lord has been more than faithful! We can’t tell you how much we appreciate all of the prayers being said on Kyran, Kevin and Brandi’s behalf. Thank you for being a part of that! Brandi and Kyran are home now! I’ll probably be posting a blog on that sometime later on, with some pictures.
    Have a blessed week-end and a very Happy Anniversary!
    (((((hugs))))

  19. What a great testimony of God’s love and blessings in your life.  You, too, should be very proud.  We just hit 9 years and I love it.  My in-laws are just about at ’50!’  We have a little ways to go!!  Praise God.  Congratulations to you and the hubby.  Hope your day is extra special and you get extra hugs and kisses from your crew!

  20. Howdy, God bless your marriage which has produced some beautiful children, a peacefulness and beauty that you so lovingly share in your posts.  Thanks. I read your post on the “Church Stuff” and it broke my heart that another christian was affected negatively by other christians.  After 15 years of involvement in a large ministry, I was subjected to some sexual abuse from leadership and I was so naive to think it was right at the time, but God did keep me in His arms and I did succeed in healing by God’s grace, boy do I believe in God’s grace now.  You too will get the healing needed since you are on the right path with your devotion to His Word.  Continuing to pray for you, God bless you and love, Evalyne
