Now that I have shared a piece of each of my children- I must share a little about my husband David Allen Purdy. He is a treasure - My beloved!! I really did get a great guy and he is truely a gift in my life. God knew EXACTLY what I needed in a husband- and I dont want to doubt His will!! Although I will say that I am not basing these words on how I feel - because how I feel and what I KNOW to be true are 2 completely differant things!
Romans 8:5
"Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." Without Christ as the center of our marriage Our marriage would be based on what we can get from eachother. We are two; drawn together by the Father to live in one accord- Not what can I get from him ?", but rather, "how can I serve my spouse"? There is no other being on this planet that could ever replace the role that Dave plays in my life, my comforter, my listening ear, my best friend!! and The Father to my children, which look up to their Daddy as a reflection of who Christ is as their Heavenly Father.I dont think that they will ever have a doubt that their Heavenly Father loves them <3 Marriage and raising a family has been the most challenging responsibilty I have ever faced. It really is a giant in my life- really a fear that I face everyday as to weither I will fail and disappoint those I love- My Father in Heaven mostly. I though that we would walk hand in hand in agreement on every issue. That is not the case- AT ALL!! Man I have never disagreed with anyone more than my husband. And it is in times like this when I need to rely on my Heavenly Father that we were not meant to do this on our own- we have the Holy Spirit as our Helper and guide.
Ecclesiastes 4:12
"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." I am so greatful to God for helping us through our marriage to grow and be bonded together in Love.
I have grown so much through being a wife and a mother to our children, and I look forward to the rest of our lives together <3 I love you Davie!! You are my best friend and my beloved!!
Thanks for sharing your heart, my friend. I love you! :)
