What a wonderfu...So beautiful and so true Camille!<br /><br />What a wonderful post. Our first year of marriage we literally took turns in the emergency room. I am so thankful that we clung to the Lord because it brought us closer to Him and each other. My prayer is for all marriages to flourish in the knowledge of Jesus and for the Lord to restore those that are hurting.<br /><br />Thanks again for such beautiful promises :)<br /><br />Have a blessed weekend friend!<br />SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737384601584423130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-2210590463379139572010-06-18T12:55:21.199-07:002010-06-18T12:55:21.199-07:00Dear Jackie ~ I am so glad to hear from you!! :) ...Dear Jackie ~ I am so glad to hear from you!! :) How wonderful that you can testify to the keeping power of our Great God...it truly is a blessing!

My hubby and I have beem married 22 years - and God has sustained us. He is the reason we can say 22 years!! I feel so blessed to know when we face trials it's not just the two of us but God who is keeping us together!! Thank you for visiting my blog.

I know they have no idea what they are saying to each other. What the words really mean. <br /><br />It's such a contrast between a young unbelieving couple and a young couple dedicated to the Lord. But the Lord can do a great work in any young married life. Just look at me, married at 18, and a total unbeliever, rebellious.......you get the picture. Married to a wonderful man who was no more prepared for marriage than I. But the Lord took us from that young beginning to where we are now and while the trip has been hard the fruits are glorious!<br /><br />~CinnamonCinnamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641108808868060406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-87348853463368203452010-06-16T21:43:49.295-07:002010-06-16T21:43:49.295-07:00Dear Amy ~ I cannot imagine what I would be like w...Dear Amy ~ I cannot imagine what I would be like without HIM!

And you are so right...our marriage began with such joy and hope - and belief that we were somehow different from everyone else, that we wouldn't face the same difficulties because we really, REALLY loved one another. A short four months later, we faced our first "tragedy," and it's been followed by many more periods of heartache...stormy seasons. And in the midst of it all, like you said, God forces our roots deeper in Himself and the joy and hope we have today is far different, far deeper, and so much richer in Christ than on that first day so many years ago. I'm so glad you shared this!<br /><br />I once read a quote that went something like this: "the tragedies in life, the hard places are merely the bass notes of our life song, To God Be The Glory."Wanting What I Havehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711989381690050970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-253061278350597522010-06-16T10:40:27.463-07:002010-06-16T10:40:27.463-07:00wise words. thank you. e.wise words. thank you. e.Mommy Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989213786947802537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-3725989254509828852010-06-16T10:35:10.816-07:002010-06-16T10:35:10.816-07:00God continues to use marriage to sactify me.

Your...Thank you, Camille, for this beautiful post. Your love of and for Jesus as a couple is so evident in these words you've penned. <br /><br />When we love Him deeply it becomes easier to trust Him with any trial. I love the way He teaches us line upon line, precept upon precept. Some of the times He finds it best for our growing and maturing through trials through those lines and precepts.<br /><br />My favorite of the Scriptures that you've listed is Proverbs 3:5-7. Once we can get past leaning on our own understanding life is so much easier.Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-87904003190626466932010-06-16T04:50:07.681-07:002010-06-16T04:50:07.681-07:00Amen Camille!
