One Year Anniversary!


We praise the Lord as we celebrate today one year of marriage!! We are so thankful for each other and for our families. Yesterday morning we got to talk to my family on the web cam!! They were all in Lincoln and we saw them live! Oh, it was so wonderful. Just a year ago we were all together in Omaha for our wedding. I remember that time with such a grateful heart knowing how long and far so many of our friends and family traveled just to be with us. I cannot stop praising God for our wonderful families and for our friends. Thank you, Lord!

We also praise God for providing all our needs and for allowing us to serve Him together in the Philippines. We had such a wonderful first year of marriage, teaching together and growing together in Christ. We praise God for that and thank Him with grateful hearts! Oh, we love each other more every day, and we know that many people have prayed faithfully for our marriage! May you continue to remember us in prayer as we begin our second year of marriage--praying that we will glorify God in our lives and that we will keep Him in the center of our marriage. Praise God with us for His faithfulness and grace this year!

"Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful. May the fire of our devotion light their way. May the footprints that we leave, lead them to believe, and the lives we live inspire them to obey. Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful."

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ! ! !
Hearing of the joy and love God has given both of you in and for each other over the past year has encouraged my faith in a God who is good and who gives good gifts beyond our wildest dreams. I praise him for leading you two treasures together and making you one in Him for both your benefit and for those who observe you and are ministered to by you. May God continue to strengthen and protect your marriage, deepening it daily as you seek Him. May your marriage reflect brilliantly the mystery of the Trinity - unity in difference, in mutual, perfect love. Our Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit, richly bless Jessica and Nate in this next year!
