  Jesus is a friend of mine.    One of the ways I always try to be is a friend. I would say myself aside, Matt is my best friend.    That is how close he is as my best friend, my husband.    I am thankful we, together, are that strong in our friendship.    I often feel if your husband or your wife is also your best friend, God is between the two of you because the only strength that can hold that double bond together is God.    Whew!    I confide in Matt about everything and then he provides for us on top of that. #everydaychampion  Friendship is something I cannot say I have ever chosen before.    Rather, it feels righter to say friendship is a facet of me.    Choice is so absent in the equation, an interaction with a stranger in line at the grocery store would seem like we had the same    kindergarten teacher.    That all feels greater as my experiences in friendship have alwa...

5/2020 I always found it romantic when husbands would introduce their wives as a bride.    I don’t hear it often, but when I do it’s a very good feeling because when I do, he is not a    newlywed.   I was talking to Matt one night about this and he laughed because I put it in terms he already had the feeling about us but he never heard the words to his feeling.    His smile lit up, thats how I knew. It always feels funny to me when I think I am a wife, but when I think of Matt as my husband it feels good because I’ll never have the definition of what a good husband is, I just know it’s the feeling when Matt enters the room.    Contentment.    I like this word.    (We are taught to love everyone, but liking them is left up to us.  🙃 ) The word contentment is a mixture of content - peaceful happiness - and excitement.   Now when I call myself a bride, I can get along very well with that.    😃?...
