Today on our
anniversary I am celebrating what I truly believe to be a miracle. I know with all my heart, God handpicked
my husband and placed him in my life.
And
if you knew my life before St. Philip, you would know that it was a true miracle. There
is no other explanation!
I won’t go into
the entire story of how we came to be, saving that for my book!
But here’s the short abridged version.
But here’s the short abridged version.
A hardworking single mom to a 9 year old boy,
quits a frustrating job with no notice, no backup plan, miraculously gets a referral
for a job, replacing a sweet lady taking maternity leave who happens to become
a friend/deco client (my “endsmeet” job back then), who also happens to know a sweet
“aggie” bachelor guy who is building his own 1 bedroom farmhouse on 7 acres and
might need a little design direction, leading to a blind date, followed by a little
persistence on his part, me being a bit guarded ….Fast forward one year later,
a few walls strategically moved and an upstairs opened up to include a room for
a young boy in need of a Dad….
and there you have it!
I married the Saint on what became “our farmhouse
porch" on a cold but glorious winter day in December.
He was really just too young to know better!
21 years….unbelievable!
A Saint, he is, in my eyes anyway, because no one else, and I repeat NO ONE else
could put up with me! He is truly the
most giving, caring and selfless person I have ever known. I am just blown over when I simply think
of how much God must have loved me, to place Philip in my life. I’m still trying to figure out what God was
thinking for Philip….Lordy, he’s been tested and proven many times over. But then he would tell you, he is exactly
where God meant him to be and loves me all the same….You see, a miracle!
Happy
Anniversary St. Philip…..P.S. I love you!
May you have a
graciously warm and merry miracle day like me, b
Beautiful story - God is AMAZING!
