14th

Today David and I celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary.

We met in January 1993 when we started graduate school at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. We had a few classes together that first semester and hung around the same group of friends, but it wasn’t until the next semester (fall 1993) that we really became close friends when we moved to a seminary off-campus apartment complex. David lived in an apartment above mine and would help me with my computer issues and I would type the notes from class. We weren’t dating at that time but many people thought we were because we hung out together and were close friends.

Then we decided that we would try the dating thing. Well, it worked. We grew closer and closer and have been best friends for 14 years now.

We’ve been through struggle after struggle in our married life and in ministry and careers. God has taken care of us though and I know He will continue to care and provide for us — wherever He sends us and whatever He prepares for us.

David, I love you! Thank you for 14 years. I’m looking forward to 14 million more years with you.
