I have an amazing Husband!


OK some quick background on Josh and I....

We met when we were 13....at the roller skating rink!! He was crazy and could skate backwards and those overalls were just so stinkin hot! Love at first sight!

We hung out..."went out" until we were about sixteen...then he called me up and broke my heart!!! It was over!

Well....God had other plans. Cause just when I decide I am through with boys..that God and I need a truly deeper relationship.....Seriously..I told God..Just you and me!
Here comes Josh!!! He kept coming to my work and my house...even when my sisters answered the door and said..what are you doing here? You are still ugly and my dad still owns a gun! That didn't stop him he kept bringing me flowers and stickers and cards to my work..and I told him no..no..NO...and then finally yes.

Now we are seventeen and IN LOVE... :) We then got married when we were nineteen years old! We were such babies! Moved to nashvegas a year later...lived in some basement of some very nice lady we didn't know...with two other guys! THREE BOYS and me in a basement..yuck!....... until we got our own place...have both worked in crazy places..and through it all..we have always known God meant for us to be together. Meant for us to go places we have been and be where we are today.

We have been spoken over numerous times that God was going to use us as a couple for His work.....so many times in fact..that I quit wanting to go to churches when they were having a special speaker!

These past few years..I have to honestly admit Josh and I have felt a distance between God and us..which in turn put a strange distance between us...a hard to explain distance. I guess the only way to describe it..is God was behind us and not in the mist of us like he had been before.

Josh and I had an amazing conversation last night. We both came to one another with the same feeling in our hearts. We know God is moving and He is ready to MOVE us. We don't think that means literally up and moving..but we know us as a couple...God is preparing us to be MOVED.
The last time we heard this..God told us both on the same night that we were to move to Nashville. It was during a worship service..and at that time I was apart of the worship team and couldn't just quit singing and tell Josh what I was feeling....but when we were driving home that night I told him and he instantly FREAKED out..cause he felt the same thing during that worship service.
The conversation I had with Josh last night was just like that and an answer to a whole lot of prayer. I can see sooo many things opening up for him...for us. I love him so much. He is an amazing provider for our family. He has one of the most unique hearts. He is touched by people all around him all the time. He has taught me so much as we have grown up together. He used to tell me all the time.....As iron sharpens iron..so one man sharpens another. He said that is us...and he is right, he is my best friend, My stronghold, My husband and my babies daddy.
I am really excited to see where God takes us. I guess I just had to write about it ! :)

Glad to hear about your heart to heart... My boyfriend and me have those all the time, but it's easy now because he's down in Mexico doing his mission for the next few months. So we just get to talk through via internet. I will be praying for you both and hope that God shines more light on your future plans!!!
