For all those years you faithfully and quietly served as an effective "minister's wife," I want to say thank you. Your simple ministry to me and to our family has born incredible and lasting fruit both in our home and in the churches we have served.
But one of the special thrills of my life has been seeing God use you in unique ministries that were perfect for you. Ones that didn't have anything to do with me.
I got to watch you disciple untold numbers of women in Colleyville and here at Johnson Ferry. I have seen God drop a ministry to young single moms in your lap and have watched you run with it like a pro. I have seen you passionately pour your life and the life of Christ into so many girls in the church and in the public schools. I've even seen you go from a woman with paralyzing stage fright to an incredibly effective public speaker.
This has been a huge highlight of our married life. I think because I have been able to watch you grow and mature as a woman of God and become more available and useful for Him. I'm certain that God has been pleased with your obedience and faithfulness. And, for whatever reason, that has made you more attractive to me.
You truly are my righteous babe. And I am so glad I get to be your husband!
