Four years ago today, I pledged my love and life to my best friend. Best decision I ever made. Here is a look at our life over the past years, to the lyrics of the song of our first dance as husband and wife, This Kind of Love, by SisterHazel.
This kind of love makes me feel ten feet tall
It makes all my problems fall
This kind of trust helps me to hold the line
I'll be there every time
This kind of love is what I dreamed about
Yeah, it fills me up, It leaves no doubt
This kind of love it's why I'm standing here
It's something that we can share
I can't get enough of this kind of love
This kind of hope is what I try to find
And now I can't deny I believe
This kind of faith is so unshakable
It's unmistakable, it's bigger then me
Your Love can move a mountain
It makes my world go round
Its always there to guide me
I'm so lucky that I found
This kind of love it's what I dreamed about
Yeah it fills me up
Well baby it leaves no doubt
This kind of love it's why I'm standing here
It's something we can share
I can't get enough of this kind of love
This kind of love
And because I think it is so important to always remember the covenant we made before God, here are the vows we wrote together for each other.
I, Jared, take you, Amy, to be my wedded wife. With deepest joy I receive you into my life that together we may be one. As is Christ to His body, the church, so I will be to you a loving and faithful husband. Always will I perform my headship over you even as Christ does over me, knowing that His Lordship is one of the holiest desires for my life. I promise you my deepest love, my fullest devotion, my tenderest care. I promise I will live first unto God rather than others. I promise that I will lead our lives into a life of faith and hope in Christ Jesus. Ever honoring God's guidance by His spirit through the Word, And so throughout life, no matter what may lie ahead of us, I pledge to you my life
as a loving and faithful husband.
I, Amy, take you, Jared, to be my wedded husband. With deepest joy I come into my new life with you. As you have pledged to me your life and love, so I too happily give you my life, and in confidence submit myself to your headship as to the Lord. As is the church in her relationship to Christ, so I will be to you. Jared, I will live first unto our God and then unto you, loving you, obeying you, caring for you and ever seeking to please you. God has prepared me for you and so I will ever strengthen, help, comfort, and encourage you. Therefore, throughout life, no matter what may be ahead of us, I pledge to you my life as an obedient and faithful wife.
And last, but certainly not least..... so incredibly thankful for this little miracle gift!
Becoming a family has been beyond anything I could ever have imagined!
I am one ridiculously blessed girl....
Happy Anniversary!
