Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

I am continually amazed by the God I serve. How intricate His plans, how perfect His will! To know the plan he has for me and that I am made perfect through His Son, Jesus Christ, is overwhelming. I am continually gripped by the awesome nature of who He is, that someone so insignificant as me would be a priority to Him. It defies human logic that I have such substantial value to my Creator, but that is why He is who He is!

When I reflect upon His will for my life it is evident that I am on a journey and one that I am not meant to travel alone. God has taken all that I was, all that I am, and all I am meant to be, and used His divine wisdom to give me a perfect partner to share this journey with. It is hard to imagine life without Amber for she has been the greatest companion God could ever give me. She challenges me, holds me accountable, and encourages me to never become content with who I am. She is the perfect completion of God's plan in my life, for without her unconditional love and forgiveness, I would not know fully what it means to be the man God has called me to be. I am who I am because she has loved me with an everlasting love found only through Jesus Christ and I cannot imagine my life without her by my side...past, present or future. My prayer is that over the course of time, God would return me to the days of my youth where with childlike faith, I trusted him completely. For as my life continues to be unveiled over the course of time, I am simply blessed beyond measure to share this experience with Jesus Christ. For without his grace, I would not be saved; and without his mercy, I would be crushed by the weight of my failures.
