Blessings and Struggles

God has blessed me with a beautiful woman. Celeste brings me much joy and happiness. I thank God every day for her and for all the blessing she has brought into my life. Each and every time I look into her eyes I am reminded of my role in our relationship and how hard it is for me to stop looking at her and look to the Lord. I know where I would like this relationship to go, but I have given it to God and know that He will guide our paths. I also pray that if I hinder Celeste’s relationship with Christ in any way that Christ would give me the strength do what is best for both of us. My dad asked me the other day, “Are you ready and willing to sacrifice for Celeste?” That question floored me and I have been asking the same question to myself over and over. Am I ready to be the Man of God that Celeste needs me to be, and that Christ requires me to be? I would have to say that as of late I have been failing in this task, and ask for continued prayer for our relationship. Prayer that we would both keep our eyes and hearts locked on Christ first and on each other second. Each and every blessing given is for His glory and I long to say that Celeste and I relationship has advanced Christ’s kingdom. Thank you for all of your prayers! Every day lately Christ has been showing me just how blessed I truly am, I want to live up to all of these blessings and not take them for granted.
