Life Changes

One sure thing about life:
It changes.
17 and single 

is much different 

from 55 and single

on so many, many levels.

Especially after living the years in between with a Godly husband.

Our Wedding Day
August 6,1977
We were both just babies.








At 18 I didn't really know who I was.

I knew I was looking for security and love-

I knew Bill offered those,

and he was beyond handsome,

so I was more than happy to marry him.

At 55 I know who I am.                                  

I have found security and love-

and the man who loved me,

who provided a secure relationship     

and only got more handsome as the years passed,

is the one responsible for teaching me how
to find those things in a relationship with God.

Ruth's wedding day, with all our babies at the time.

And the two who have joined our family since then...
