Stuff like this



So, it's funny. Cheryl and I have been passing this note back and forth for a couple months now. We put it somewhere different all the time for each other to find. In Newport this weekend, I came downstairs to talk to the concierge while ...Cheryl was in the shower. I gave her the note and told her when we walk by her on the way out, for her to call Cheryl over, hand her the note and say "This is from your husband". It was awesome! ♥ :)

Cheryl and I always like to show each other how important we are to each other.  How much love we have!  That we are each other's priority!  Little things like this go a long way in any relationship.  Don't forget to be willing to do stuff like this.

Sharing our story

So this Sunday evening, we have the opportuinty and privelege of sharing our story with a group of young married people.  Hopefully, they get something good out of our experience!  Ours' is a dark tale of failure, but, by the grace of God we were brought to our senses, reminded of the way it's supposed to be, and gloriously restored!

I pray that through hearing us talk with honesty and transparency that they can come to a realization that their marriage needs to be in tune with God's plan, and if they stray from that plan....disastrous results could occur!  Believe me!  We know!  We've been there!

In reality, I know that nothing we say....nothing we have experienced...nothing we do...can have ANY impact on anyone without the Spirit of the almighty God reaching through us into those hearts and prompting them toward Himself.  So, that's my prayer.

This is just the beginning of God's ministry to restore marriages through us.  There are so many people hurting.  So many on the verge of falling apart.  So many that have already been destroyed.  And, so many that need to hear this story to prevent them from getting to the point of falling apart. 

Soon (hopefully) we'll have a video to share taken from our "Storytellers Weekend" when we first met Matthew West and heard our song for the first time.  They did an interview with me and it was actually aired on JCTV a division of TBN network in a special about the stories behind the songs.  As soon as we get that, I'll share it on here, along with the song.  Until then....we'll keep on spreading the word of hope and restoration! ☮
