We are celebrating 23 years of marriage today.
And we are proof that God still performs miracles today.
This last year has held many challenges. I’ve not blogged since September 2010 and part of the reason was because of struggles in our marriage, family and home. We have not arrived by any means; but praise His Name, God is still in the miracle working business!

Let's face it….life comes with many challenges, and often times when they are least expected! But God is good…all the time!
Happy Anniversary!!

And I've missed you sweet girl. I am glad to rejoice with you over God's miracles. Thank You, Jesus! I am also coming out of a very difficult "place" or season the past 10 months…in ministry as a pastor's wife. People will sure hurt and disappoint. But oh let me testify! Our God is faithful and He is my Rock, my Refuge, and my Strong Tower.
Love your beautiful wedding picture. We celebrated 34 years on 6-11-77!
Much love sweet one,
Jan (Gran Jan, GA Jan) 🙂

Happy Anniversary! The end of August is our 23rd anniversary. Plenty of bumps and bruises along the way. A lot of hard work… tears… and struggles, but God has brought us through… and perhaps better than ever. And I pray that for you, too.

What a wonderful photo – I hope you're doing better …struggles are just that . . . sometimes so painful and frustrating. I keep thinking about Israel's instructions (and the instructions to us as well) . . . when you meet those obstacles, that's where we need to cry out to h Lord. That's where He meets us. These days are difficult . . . much going on in our world. I hope I can cry out to Him in all things. Drop by when you can . . . I have email too if you so desire. Love and Hugs, Jenn (I'm working from a different blog provider).

Lora, had to check out your blog! I love it. Congratulations on your anniversary. My husband and I just went 25 years in December … proof that all things are possible thru Christ! Let's do 25 more! And have a blast along the way! God bless you and your family.

Me again, just checking in.
Hang in there!
God doesn't leave us …. ever.
Studying Beth Moore's Stepping Up, and the 123d Psalm – keeping our eyes on our Father – cuz He knows what we go through, how we'll fare and He'll give us peace we can't have any other way.
Take care! Jenn
