18 years

Hi! Rey & I celebrated our 18 years anniversary last Monday, here in Greenville, SC. Nothing fancy celebration happened. We had a simple dinner at our favorite eating place (secret...) a week in advance, just the two of us. Last Monday, we ate out again, and this time with Abigail. We thank the Lord for "the wonderful things He has done" in our lives... His grace is amazing! We never get tired of counting our blessings... especially when we see Abigail with us. I thank my husband of 18 years... he is a wonderful husband! I am blessed with his humbleness in everything he does... his patience... his love for the Lord... and his devotion to God. I thank the Lord so much also for our daughter, Abigail. God has been good. My goal for this new year in our married life...? .... is to please the Lord. My verse is: Proverbs 3:6 "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." We need the Lord to direct our paths. We need to acknowledge His presence always so He can instruct us and teach us in the way that we should go (Ps. 32:8). I need Him always. I blunder many times in my Christian life but He is ever near me to encourage me to continue. I thank God that He is still polishing me in the person He wants me to be.

This week, will be a little hectic for Rey... final exams at BJU is this Saturday and next week. 2nd semester is almost ending... I am excited to attend the commencement next Saturday even though Rey is not graduating yet.. still a long way to go... but first we will attend the drama Henry V on May 1. We've watched Much Ado About Nothing, Barber of Seville, The Living Gallery, and now Henry V.

Last Saturday was BJES Field Day. We enjoyed it inspite of the intermittent showers. I'll post some pictures tomorrow or next time..
