Gratitude to our Great God
I'm so very proud of my man, my husband, and my best friend, Chris, for finishing his bachelor's degree from Liberty University as of yesterday! No one knows more than I do how hard he has had to work to finish it. Being married, having a full-time ministry job, raising two babies (and another one on the way), and taking care of a wife that STAYS pregnant can really make school a lot more difficult!! I can remember him having to write three 7-10 page papers the week Rosalyn was born because it was the week of finals!! Talk about stressful? But it never phased him! And it would NEVER fail...anytime our pastor at our former church would ask Chris to preach, he would have a huge research paper due that Sunday night after preaching that morning and night! Of course, he would still have to fulfill all of his other ministry duties/obligations as well during the week as a youth minister/worship leader! It's so fresh on my mind when a few Sundays he would teach Sunday School, lead worship, preach, sometimes have a meeting that afternoon, teach Discipleship Training, lead worship again, preach again, and THEN have to come home and finish up a couple of assignments if he had any due that night! I don't think I have EVER known a person that can multi-task better than my amazing husband can and still do everything WELL!!! Somehow.... someway....he would always get it done. I truly am in awe of him on a daily basis!! He says he has me fooled, but I genuinely know how GREAT he truly is!! I know without a doubt the only way he made it the past 2-3 years is GOD'S GRACE. He had to rely on the precious strength of our great King. I'm so grateful God gave him the strength to press on when it seemed impossible to get everything done in my eyes. I appreciate my sweet husband's diligence to do whatever it takes to provide for his family who loves and adores him more than he will ever know! I am looking forward to whatever the Lord has in store for him and our family next....whatever it may be!! I love you, Chris, and I am one extremely proud wife!! :)
