Kyle and I have been married for about seven and a half years. When he proposed he used a quote from Martin Luther's proposal to his own wife to propose to me. It's actually taken from Acts 3 when Peter and John were walking into the temple. A lame beggar asked them for money, but Peter had no money to offer. Instead, he offered the beggar something that would last forever- Jesus Christ. When Kyle proposed to me he told me that he didn't have riches or gold, but he has a rich God. And we get to serve that God together every day.
Kyle recently completed some pre-marital counseling with a couple. They talked about the creation of woman, the helpmate of the man. She was put there to help the man bring glory to God. That's what Kyle and I are supposed to do in our marriage- help each other bring glory to God. The verse that is inscribed on our wedding rings is Psalm 34:3, "Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together."
I'm so thankful for this partner in ministry. I'm so thankful that I get to go through life glorifying God with him. We get to make disciples together- our children. We get to pray together, worship together, and read God's Word together.
Kyle, thanks for letting me be the one that gets to run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.
