Husbands

.I cannot imagine life without him.
.He is my Best Friend.
.The Best dad ever.

There was a time when I wouldn't have said he was my best friend. A time when things were tough, not the way they should be. We couldn't laugh at mishaps, we couldn't laugh at our faults. We were going through a treacherous valley, and the mountain a head looked daunting and steep. The valley we walked was one of infertility, adoptions not working out, and spiritual warfare eating away at our hearts.
Life was not easy.
Our relationship was not as God indented.
We continued together, yet each separate, like parallel lines, never crossing.
Then we began to pray together. I surrendered it all; my fears, my strong will, my over sensitive nature, my desire not to be second. Slowly, we made it out of the valley and up the mountain, with my husband in the lead. I began to dig into God's Word. I began to encourage my husband the way God commands. I supported his decisions, I asked for his advise, I praised his accomplishments in private and in public. I let him know he was still my knight in shinning armor. Slowly we began to laugh at each other and the annoying habits we both have. We began to accept each other in every way. We began to love life together again.
I started to do things solely for him.
I sacrificed my time.
I changed the way I viewed the things he asked me to do.
I adjusted my attitude.

I was created to be his helper, and today, I find tremendous fulfillment in that.
God is good.
