7300 Days


How can I even begin to accurately acknowledge God's grace of 7300 days - 20 years!!

Twenty years ago today, Jordan and I stood before over 400 of our dear friends and family and pledged our commitment to each other.


 As I have been thinking about these past two decades, there is a theme that keeps running through my mind ~ prayer.  My husband has faithfully followed in the prayer warrior footsteps of his grandparents and parents and for that I am overwhelmed with thankfulness! 

 Jordan has prayed with and for me every single morning before he begins his shift.  It is always dark when he leaves for work and I wake to Jordan praying over our family before the back door closes and he heads to the the fire station.


 He has prayed over our babies - even before they were born.
I recall one evening in Ellensburg almost 18 years ago.....


Moriah Noel was due to arrive soon and that little sweetheart was breech.  Jordan placed his hands on me and prayed for our little one.  He prayed that she would "turn around", that she would love Jesus and that she would someday have a godly spouse. That little one turned as Jordan was praying over her!


Those of you who know my praying man can probably recall meals together where the subject of prayer as we gathered was every child in the room...

Can you hear him?

"Lord we pray that you would give us wisdom in raising these children"

"Lord we pray that you would provide godly husbands for our girls"

"Lord we pray that you would provide godly wives for our boys"

"God give us wisdom to be good stewards of our time and our resources"



As we celebrate 20 year today we are reminded of God's faithfulness, his provision, his guidance and his love for us.  Praying for many more years together!
