Mike here..... 10 years ago Nikki and I took a vow to cherish each other, to put our spouses needs ahead of us, to love each other no matter what the circumstances- in sickness and in health. Over the last few months that phrase of our marriage vows has taken a much deeper and richer meaning than ever before. Its in these reflective moments that God is able to confirm his sovereignty, to show you the "method to his madness". After all, had we never experienced cancer, we'd have never fully understood what this phrase means.
I'm so thankful that Nikki's health situation has allowed us to grow even closer as a couple, a team. Looking back over some of the cards we sent each together, the love notes we exchanged when we were dating, the pictures of us together when I had more hair, I'm filled with uncontrollable joy. The Lord has blessed with me with an amazing, strong, caring friend who puts others needs ahead of hers. Who, despite her circumstances, seeks ways to glorify her creator. Before she even met me she wrote a series of letters to her future husband, one particular sentence stuck out to me... "I know that God will put us together when we are supposed to come together. I am trying so hard to let God show me the way and allow me to trust him completely." Even then, she was seeking Gods will in our marriage, and that has been the corenterstone to our relationship. Nikki, thanks so much for being the Godly woman described in Proverbs 31, you are my rock, my joy, my best friend. Love, Mike
