Josh's birthday

Well I missed posting this on his birthday, but close enough. =)

I just wanted to say how much I love Josh. He completes me so well. I love him more and more and am enjoying spending my life with him. When Josh and I began to fall in love years ago we knew so little about each other. I always felt like it was just meant to be, and sometimes I couldn't explain why. I know it was God. Now I see how much we have grown...how much we've changed and affected each other.

Josh is a very strong person. I admire how I can always count on him to be very sure of himself. I love how more recently his strength and reliance has come from his trust in and understanding of God's will. He prays faithfully, and studies the word, taking opportunities to relate our real life experiences to what he's learning. I see the growth, sometimes slow but sure.

Josh is often quiet and reserved, but likes to have fun! I enjoy the crazy side of him. That spontaneous side of him that likes to sometimes make decisions on the fly and just do what we want to do rather than what we've planned to do. It keep life interesting, and keeps us young!

Josh is tender and kind. I've watched him learn to love his family. Standing in the kitchen to take time and talk with his mom while she cooks dinner. Trying to stay in contact with his siblings while we're far away. Playing ping pong with my little brother for hours.

I should close, even though there is so much I could say still. Thank you Lord for my husband...for his heart for You.

P.S. I love how Josh came into the room as I was closing and says, "We are so blessed." and when I asked why he said, "Because we have so much more than we need."
