AMEN....

I just want to say that God answers prayers....I am convinced. But, it might be 10 years later.

I am thankful for my husband. He TRULY has become the man that I DREAMED and PRAYED about marrying.....10 years ago. He was the boy that I could not give up on as a freshman in college...that I just HAD to stick with....I now know why. God answered my prayers.

I wanted to marry a young life leader. I wanted to be a youth group leader. Back then, I think I wanted it all for the wrong reasons. Now, I know the right reasons to want that kind of person....and I have that kind of husband.

You want to marry that kind of person because they love God. Because they want to know God, serve God selflessly, love him more. Ben is becoming this person more and more.

Every Wednesday am Ben is getting up for bible study. Every Sunday we go to church, without a fight or question. AND he is leading the youth group. WITH excitement, and passion, and knowledge, and prayer. WOW WOW WOW. We go to youth cookouts, and plan get togethers, and try to get to know the students! And, I am NOT dragging him. at all.

This is without a doubt the work of God. I am thankful and grateful. And thankful and grateful for Rick and Neil and Matt who have played an integral part in the work of God in Ben!

AMEN
