My Husband :)


Robert is one of the best people I have ever met in this world. And yes, I guess I’m a little biased. But seriously, I am way blessed to have him as a partner in this journey.

I remember when we first got together and honestly he wasn’t that focused on God. I was always pushing the prayer and the devotions and most anything that related to God.

And I’m not saying this against Robert or trying to build myself up. Not at all.  You see, my entire life I had a hyperfocus on God. If I was to describe to you my perfect best friend the first thing I would say is that I want her to ALWAYS want to talk about God. Every conversation. All the time. This is because that’s how I am. I love God. I love God more than anything and more than anything I want to know where people are in life and what God’s doing in their life. That’s the main thing I’m interested in. It’s just my personality and who I’ve been my entire life.

And Robert, well He was a normal 15 year old boy living a normal to above average faith. He went on missions trips and he sincerely loved God.

I remember wanting Robert to be more focused on God and honestly to step up and be the leader in Christ I needed him to be. And there were times I was discouraged by it.

And honestly, it wasn't until this moment that I had thought about it in a long time. And it’s because I look at my husband, who just got done with 4 hours of God time and I’m inspired.

When I go to God time I want God to just speak to me right away. Don’t get me wrong I love my God time and I can deal with lengthy…as long as God is active during the lengthy. I can sit through long sermons…as long as I am getting something out of it (which is pretty often), but I have a hard time with patience and silence. I just get too excited.

Which is why I am in awe of my husband’s faith and diligence. Somewhere along this faith journey he naturally stepped up to be the leader that God has called him to be.

I couldn’t tell you the day, or what exactly changed. But I do know that Robert is obedient and I love him for it.

I love the partnership that we have in our faith journey together and I love walking beside Him on our path towards God and His plans for us. And I am in awe of the way God answers prayer even when we aren’t paying attention.

He is great! And he has blessed me with a great husband!

Love,
Kate
