Like God wanted us to spend some time together and I thoroughly enjoyed it! So funny that Jason is trying to convince me to be more like him (business-minded) and I’m trying to convince him to be more like me (God and family-focused). But in trying to explain my values to him, I realize how much I love being a wife, mom and Rockstar for God in the world. I wouldn’t change anything! I LOVE MY LIFE!!! Even the bad and difficult parts I accept as part of God’s plan to help me be the mature, loving and confident in Him woman He would have me to be.

Jason is my brother who introduced me to my husband over 20 years ago. I kept telling him at first that I wasn’t interested, but Jason insisted that we meet. The very next day after he came to the Bahamas to go to a concert with me, he got down on his knees and prayed, “God, thank you for helping me find my wife.” Five months later we were married. I have no doubt that God Himself was behind Jason’s insisting that he should introduce us.

Today as I sat having lunch with Jason and our four kids I said, “See what you did?” God has truly blessed us beyond our expectations. Thank You, God and Jason for the hook up. (HUGE SMILE)

Jason doesn’t agree with all my decisions, though. He would like me to be more independent in making decisions, but I explained that’s my role to play from God, to be the supportive wife/Vice President at the service of President hubby, following his lead. That decision has worked out well for us. Hubs has led us to a great place. Here and there I choose my battles based on conversations with God, but I thank God for His wisdom and guidance in helping me become the wife He would have me to be and not conforming with the world’s definition.

Like I heard a celebrity say she wasn’t interested in pain, but pain is a part of the deal when you make a vow for better or worse because nobody’s perfect and we all make mistakes. I write off hubs disappointments against all his good characteristics (there’s so much good) I love and adore and I keep going. I swallow some bitter pills when necessary and he does the same for me when I mess up.

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” – 1 Peter 4:8

And today, sitting with Jason and our four kids, I’m grateful to God for helping us to get here where we’re even looking forward to better days ahead of us, all by the grace of God. Amen!
