My Love

On this journey, I want to take each day and count my blessings. Sometimes those blessings are deep while others may be the simpler things in life. Today I want to focus on one of my greatest blessings, my husband.

I’ve known Scott for over 2 decades now. We have been married for 15 of those years. We met when I was in college and have been together ever since. I have learned so much from him. I’ve grown in ways that I never thought I could.

Our time together hasn’t always been a bed of roses; but despite where we where at, valleys or mountain peaks, he has been by my side always in love. 

Scott is a man of few words but plenty of action. His heart has always been drawn to serve. He glows when he is helping others and he never asks for anything in return. Seeing his selflessness is inspiring. Just one of his many gifts.

He also knows himself. He knows what he wants, speaks his truth and fiercely protects those he loves. He has taught me to be brave, to be bold and to speak my truth. These lessons where learned very early in our marriage. He would ask a question or make a suggestion and me being a people pleaser just always went with what he wanted. At one point he got so frustrated with me that I wasn’t giving him my opinion that he just refused to choose.

 Here was a man who wanted my opinion not a yes woman. That was a breakthrough for me. This man didn’t want to make unilateral decisions he wanted a partnership. Having my voice heard, acknowledged and respected was mind blowing. He gifted me with the value of my voice, thoughts and ideas. 

I’m thankful more today than ever that the Lord put Scott in my path. He is a wonderful partner, a loving friend and a very needed encourager. 

Truly grateful for my best friend, my love.
