Another Prime Anniversary (17)

17 years ago this day, God blessed me with an amazing helper and friend, my wife Caitlin.

She has been with me through years of want and years of plenty.

We have encouraged each other through college degrees, and she made it possible to finally finish my M.Div. after two attempts and two schools.

We have been members (or “members”) of six churches, four of which I have been in leadership roles of some capacity. She has helped me grow in Christ and as a leader, especially as a pastor. This has helped me step into a new pastoral role, and she is an amazing pastor’s wife.

I know she has grown in Christ, for I have seen it, yet I pray she continues to grow deeper in her love and commitment to Christ and in drawing others nearer to Him.

She’s also beautiful and has become quite the amazing cook!

To quote The Beatles, “and I love her.”

Thank You, Lord, for this blessing. May we be a picture of Christ and His Church.

I love you, Caitlin!

Signed,

Daniel
