Geezer-ville and Sappy-town

It is official. My husband has turned old. His 30th birthday is today. Now, I don't really think 30 is old. In fact, the closer I get to it - the younger it seems! I just like to tease him about leaping into a new decade of his life.

I am so very proud of my husband. He works so hard day in and day out. The schedule he maintains is packed tight with school, work, church obligations - but he always makes time for me and time for our marriage. This past weekend is a prime example. He normally works Friday nights and Saturday mornings, but he took off so we could go to Granbury with the church. He had a test on Tuesday and a large lab that was due that day as well. I know he really needed to study. But because he wanted to spend time building our marriage he did not study over the weekend, causing him to stay up very late Sunday night and Monday night to go over everything.

What I admire most about my husband is his devotion to God. There were times that I know he could have stayed home and studied instead of going to church. Or times that he could have gotten extra hours for needed income at work. But he didn't. He has put God above all else and is such a great example to me, his family, my family, and our friends.

I love you Donnie. I hope you have a wonderful 30th birthday. And I pray that God blesses you with many more years. With ME!! :)

Lord, Please Hear My Prayer

I’m Your vessel
Imperfect in my ways
But You’re the master potter
Have Your way
And should You chose to break me
I will trust You
For You know what’s best for me

To be broken
To be used
To be more than formed by You
This is all I long for
All I need
Break this vessel
Work in me

For You to use me
I must be renewed
So into Your skillful hands I place my life
Do what You chose
And should You chose to break me
I will trust You
For You know what’s best for me

To be broken
To be used
To be more than formed by You
This is all I long for
All I need
Break this vessel
Work in me

My lips have said ‘not my will but thine’
But when it becomes my hearts cry
Then I can be used and You can be glorified
Lord, break me and mold me again

To be broken
To be used
To be more than formed by You
This is all I long for
All I need
Break this vessel
Work in me
