Gen. 2:18, 21-24


The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him'...and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man.' For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. (NIV)



Today is our 10 year anniversary. As I reflect on the past 10 years its amazing to me how much more in love we are today than the day we exchanged vows. Don't get me wrong we were very much in love on our wedding day, however, life and its ups and downs has brought us even closer together.

I can honestly say that Buck is my sole mate, my God mate, the air I breath. Next to God--I love nothing more. Even on our lowest days I thank God that he created him for me. So today I profess my LOVE to you again... You are my world. Thank you for the last 10 years. I can't wait til the day we are sitting on the front porch in our 80's holding hands and watching the cars pass by on the street just talking about "the good 'ol days..." And even if you still have that sarcastic humor that gets you in trouble from time to time... Our life will be one awesome conversation!

I LOVE YOU!

Hebrews 11:1

"Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we can not see."

Lord you have given us so many examples of your faithful people: Abraham walked on faith when he took Isaac to your altar to be sacrificed; Sarah had faith that in her barren older years she would conceive a child; Abel walked with faith as he brought you the better offering than Cain; Moses walked in faith that he would lead the Israelites to the promise land. Buck and Esther MUST WALK ON FAITH of our God given calling. That we would know that you would deliver us to our promise land, that you would birth the dream that is conceived inside our hearts, that you would not allow us to actually sacrifice our family at your altar but rather be pleased that we would bring you our best offering we have to give you--our lives fully committed to your will. Jesus we love you. We know our calling and stand on firm ground--we will not take the easy road--but with you the road WILL be fruitful. As long as we keep our blessed hearts and motives PURE--to bring the lost and hurting to you. We will succeed; not due to us but rather YOU through us. In Jesus Name Amen
