So as a special surprise for my husband for our 10th anniversary that’s coming up at the end of this week (honey, if you end up reading this… well, SURPRISE!), I took our VHS tapes of our wedding and reception to get converted to DVD. The store messed up and gave me two copies of the wedding instead of one of the wedding and reception so I have to go back again tomorrow for the reception. But today I watched the wedding with our 7-year-old. Caleb got a kick out of seeing all of his relatives looking so young as well as unnervingly assuming so many must now be dead, since some looked so old then. (Not all of them are, let me assure you.)
One of the special things we did in the wedding was a reading of scripture…
Lee Myers, the youth minister at the time who we had become good friends with along with his wife Tammy, did the honors. He started with Philipians 4:6-9.
Lee: “Cliff and Sara have chosen a few scriptures today that are very special to them. (Reading) ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God…’ “
Caleb (interrupting): “Oh, so that’s why Daddy doesn’t get mad. He remembers!”
Two seconds later…
Caleb (looking at me): “You must have forgot.”
OH, when conviction comes through your 7 year old! LOL!

Sara,
I got your comment. Thank you! What would that entail? I will definitely pray about it. I’m working on a book, but it’s going slowly because of all the other activities we have going on. I hope once summer ends I will have much more time for it. I’ve asked the Lord to guide me when/how often to write. It may never get published, but I know it’s what I’m supposed to do…as long as it takes. I would love for you to put the word out about our prayer group. My prayer is that women all over, in all walks of life, get involved in praying for other women. Thanks again,
Laura
Hey Laura! I think I have your email address somewhere… I will email you the details about blogging for Wives of Faith and the prayer group. I’m trying to get some writing done today so it may be later in the week, but thanks for letting me know you might be interested. Talk to you soon!
