14 Years

“When your heart rests in the amazing wisdom of the choices of a powerful Creator, you have given yourself reason to continue.

When your heart celebrates the myriad of careful choices that were made to bring your stories together, you have given yourself reason to continue.

When your heart is filled with gratitude for the amazing grace that you both have been and are being given, you have given yourself reason to continue.

You are not alone. Your creating, ruling, transforming Lord is still with you. He has brought your stories together and placed them smack-dab in the middle of his redemptive story. As long as he is Creator, as long as he is sovereign, and as long as he is the Savior, you have reason to get up in the morning and love one another, even though you aren’t yet what he created you to be.”

-Paul David Tripp

Thank you for 14 years of continuing with me, Jasper. Even on our hardest days, we cannot deny that our Savior has been so, so good.

Cheers, Furn—the best is yet to come.
