12th Day of Christmas

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love married me.

God is good all the time: all the time, God is good. I believe this with all my heart.  In all seasons of my life, this statement is the foundation of all I believe.

And I am entering a new season of my life.  On Epiphany Day, the day we celebrate God's revealed love- Christ incarnate, Steve and I were married quietly in a small intimate wedding. The past months have been a whirlwind.  As I look back at the last year and meeting Steve and getting to know him and fall in love with him, I am amazed at God's hand.  I don't believe in a mystical "one for you." But I do believe God, in his goodness, brought us together.  

So today, I want to reflect on the goodness of God in bringing Steve into my life.  

A man who:

• loves God
• loves family and friends deeply
• is kind
• is funny (when not corny)
• cares about me  
• knows me well and still loves me

I could give examples of all of the above. But you know what?  I find that it is all still personal and new and precious and doesn't need to be all over the internet.  So come and drink a cup of coffee or tea and let's talk about what has been going on in my life.  Warning- it is going to be about Steve.....
