A Decade Plus Two {A Love Poem}

 It was just twelve years ago that we said “I do”.


Over twenty years since we said “I love you”.


So much has changed in a decade plus two!

We have fought the good fight- facing hard things, standing tall in trials.


Sitting in difficult times.


Waiting for God's plan for our pain.


Fighting together through seasons of refinement.


Yet one thing remains the same-

In the bad and the good, the blessed and the broken,

We continue to walk together towards Him.


We sometimes look back with longing, it's true.


Our address has changed a few times.

Our family has grown by two.


Our church home has come and gone and been made new.

Some people have let us down, but others have held us up.

Our faith has shifted, our perspective has matured.

Our Savior has begun to work in us in much more disciplined ways.



So much has changed!

But one thing remains-

We continue to walk with Him.


For as much as God has stretched us since we first joined hearts,

I look forward to seeing what twelve more can do.


A decade plus two has brought up deep truths,

About who we are in Him and who we are with others.

Yet twelve years of learning is only the beginning...


Keep growing, keep going, keep walking together with Him...


Always in love.

Rebecca
