To The ReaderIn 2005, my husband and I celebrated our fifteenth wedding anniversary. That same year, my sweet younger cousin-in-law, Molly Rutherford, became engaged. The Lord used both of these factors to put me in a “reflective state of mind” concerning marriage.“What have I learned during these years of my life?”“What does God want me to keep learning and applying?”“What words of wisdom could I give to a young married woman?”I began to answer each of these questions in the form of letters written to Molly. The fifteen(really sixteen) letters are to her, but for all. I hope each one will bring you closer to your Savior, Jesus Christ. Always remember, He is the cornerstone of your marriage. I share these letters with you from a humbled position, knowing full well that I am still in the learning process as I walk the road of life with my husband … “But one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:13-14). Marriage is an upward call of God; Christ Jesus will help you fulfill it.

Being refined ...

For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.  Psalm 66: 8-12

Dear Lord,

When we don't always know why things are happening, and it seems that darkness is prevailing, cause our hearts to trust you all the more. Help us in the storm; refine us in the fire; and bring us into a place of abundance. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
