16 years-- Happy Anniversary

Sixteen years ago today, I made a vow. A vow: a solemn promise or assertion; specifically : one by which a person is bound to an act, service, or condition. I didn't know how bad the bad times were going to be or how good the good times were going to be. I would have never ever dreamed I would be in my hometown in my home church as a staff wife, homeschooling 4 children. Never in my wildest imaginations. But here we are, and I can honestly say I would not trade one minute of it. Do I wish some things had been different? Absolutely. I wish I had been a better wife for the past 16 years. I wish I had been more patient, more giving, more loving, and less critical. I wish I had put his interests before mine more often. I wish I had known then what I know now, and I wish I knew now what I will know in 16 more years. I haven't been all I should be, but I hope I will be more of what God wants me to be for the next sixteen and beyond.
