Can’t imagine that another year has passed… it seemed just like yesterday when my wife and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary.
All of a sudden it’s March 24 again and we’re chalking up another year of togetherness with all the ups and downs that come with it. But this particular anniversary is extra special for us, because we are not just simply celebrating our life together as husband and wife as we always do every year… this is the first anniversary we are observing with the Lord at the center of our relationship!
Though it’s been 7 years now, our marriage seems to have been jump-started anew ever since we entered … because only now have we really engaged in a relationship with God taking the driver’s seat.
Happy Anniversary, honey! This day is more meaningful to me because our Lord takes the lead and we simply follow in faith. Our marriage is not in our hands anymore, but in His. Tests and trials are to be expected as usual but I know that this time each hurdle brings us closer to God and further strengthens our bond with one another.
Praise God for you… for us… and for the anniversaries that are yet to come. I love you very much. Hamwah!

Me and my wife had the privilege of being able to join our very first “Junior Couples Night” yesterday which was held in one of our member’s houses.
It was pretty exciting, being that it was new to me and that I always look forward to gatherings that talk about Christ and faith.
We had dinner with about 8 other couples… it was pot luck so we brought our share of dibs. Food was splendid! Dessert was wonderful! Everyone was so friendly and I had the pleasure of meeting other couples whom I have only seen from afar during Team Revival nights over at the Elim Homebase.
After, two trips to the buffet table and 3 trips to the dessert cake… we had a film viewing. The movie of the night was entitled, “The Climb”, a full length feature produced by Billy Graham. And may I say that, considering how cheesy most Christian films are, the production values of this particular film was superb. Cinematography, scoring… the works!
I knew my wife would have a hard time staying awake during the entire time since she has this habit of ALWAYS falling asleep in the middle of shows and films. But, with the help of my constant nudging, she stayed awake… hehe!
After the movie, we grouped ourselves into two. The husbands in one room and the wives in another. We discussed how the lessons of the film could be connected to married life… reflecting on struggles and constant challenges that come with family life. It was a very vivid and active exciting exchange of ideas through each others past experiences.
My wife and I look forward to more of these gatherings in the future.
