The Power of Putting God First
We exchanged our wedding vows on April 27, 1991. We were so in love and ready to take on whatever came our way. Big hurdles within the first year of marriage, little bumps the first five years. We then opened our hearts to the generosity of God. We discovered His plan for our marriage; and that we need Him at the center of our lives so that we can live out the JOY that He intended for our marriage.
