Every person has his or her story how they met their love one. Especially singles have a high interest in knowing how two people come together and started a family. It's an interest to them because in the stories like that, singles look for directions towards their own personal life. I am writing this on my seven months of marriage anniversary, no I am not going to explain how we met and the drama began, I just want to point out few thoughts that fill my mind as this day approached since every story is God's story. "What.. God has joined together, let not man separate" (Mt 19:6).
When I think of me being together with my wife, I think of God's grace. Grace is something that we don't deserve, it's Gods goodness and kindness in our everyday life. None of us deserve grace, it is a gift. That's how I see my story with Ira, she's a gift. There was a time in my foolishness I was ignoring her, if fact I was running away from her (that's a pattern of a blind person running from the light). But now, I am the happiest man ALIVE. As God gave me a gift: salvation, so did he gave me a gift: a wife by the name of Irina. The book of Proverbs says, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD" (18:22). This has been truly a favor from my Lord. It's just been seven months, but better then any single seven months that I ever lived.
The dynamic of the Christian marriage life is different. To a single person, it's might be hard to understand. When Proverbs asks a question, "An excellent wife who can find? (31:10), I am tempted to answer. To have a person next to you who only seeks less interest of her own, makes me want to be with this person, makes me want to seek the good of this person—she is a jewel.
A wife, my wife I can cry with, laugh with, have an intelligent conversation, have a blast going to a trip or other places. A person I can trust, a person who I can seek comfort and realization at the same time. My dear wife, I love you; you presents in my life, it's like God's little piece of heaven on this earth. Happy seven month Anniversary!
I am humbled by God's providence.
Sometimes there aren't enough words to express the joy that fills the heart...
