As a child, I wanted to experience life before going to heaven. After walking through suffering, I’ve come to understand why so many believers longed for Glory. More than a place without pain, heaven has become precious because it’s where my Savior is.
After one of the hardest years of my life, God used 1 Peter 4 to remind me that suffering isn’t wasted. Sometimes the greatest work God does isn’t around us, it’s within us.
Fifty years of marriage is a remarkable achievement, but my parents’ greatest legacy isn’t simply the years they’ve shared, it’s the unwavering faith, sacrificial love, and Christ-centered example they’ve lived every day. This tribute celebrates their Golden Anniversary, my mom’s birthday, and the incredible legacy they’ve built for our family.
There are days when faith feels strong, and there are days when getting out of bed feels difficult. When my marriage felt impossible and giving up seemed easier, God reminded me that obedience is not about controlling the outcome, it is about trusting Him one more day.
