My Anniversay 7/13/2002 - 7/13/2011

9 years ago I married a man I was so in love with… I was 24 years old and he was 25 years old.. Before we were married all we kept hearing was we was too young to get married and we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into, but to be honest! We didn’t care, and had no clue about what marriage was all about! We just thought being in love was all we needed… Oh boy was we wrong! LOL Speaking from my truth and heart, I just knew I didn’t and couldn’t see myself living without this man.. He said all the things I never heard from a guy, boyfriend or any male in my life and that I was the most beautiful girl he had ever meet  (meaning that I was so loving, understand and have a great sprit) and he showed me in many ways. He would pull the car over on the highway and dance with me, dedicate songs to explain how he felt (only because he didn’t know how express them out in his own word and always gave me flowers), He’s a protector and boy did he and still do protect me..

Now during our 9 year of marriage wasn’t easy because we all know the flesh is never satisfied! We both dealt  with distrustfulness, dishonesty, unfaithfulness, etc and threw it all we was still in love and still wanted to be with each other so we fought for our marriage by talking to family, friends and anyone else to help us thru these tough times.  But we never went to the main person who could, knew and totally understood what we was going thru and needed to survive and that’s GOD!!

Once we started counseling threw a church and I started to pray for my husband and fast for our marriage things started to get better. We started to talk more to get a better understanding of who we were as individual persons and not as his wife and her husband and the parent of our two beautiful children. I’m not saying that there wasn’t times that I did not like my husband and his ways but I always loved him. So that plate that we was holding with distrust, dishonesty, unfaithfulness, lies, misunderstanding, selfishness, jealousy, etc.. We broke and burned that plate!!!!

We picked up a new beautiful plate with God in the center! With trust, honesty, faithfulness, love, understanding, etc.. But the devil would always pop his nosey head in some way form or fashion.. Because, like I said the flesh is never satisfied. So we also picked a beautiful umbrella that protects our flesh from the sun showers of lush, rainstorms of no trust, thunder storms of unfaithfulness and even the fire balls of hate!!

So on that note I want to say Happy 9 year Anniversary to my wonderful husband Ed… Love you very much and I’m blessed to have you in my life!!!

Thanks for reading my story and I’m signing out
