Our Marriage is a Teenager

Aug 5, 2008 Print This Post

13 years.
As of today, Grace and I have been married for 13 years.

That means our marriage is officially a teenager–hopefully it doesn’t get all moody.

13 years ago, we had no idea what was in store for us. She was a substitute school teacher, I was an Assistant Manager at a bank (yes, I wore a tie everyday). We had ministry aspirations but didn’t know what to do with them.

Looking over the past 13 years, I am amazed at what God has done in our lives and the myriad of ways he has really made us one.

In honor of protecting Grace’s sense of privacy, that’s all I will say.

Except to say that I am so glad she picked me and continues to tolerate me on a daily basis.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
