I honestly never thought that I would be saying this! Not because I didn't think that my sweet husband was capable but because it was challenging and expensive and life still seemed to go on all the while Adam was in school. It felt like eventually all of the work and busyness would catch up to us and we'd have to quit, but my goodness, God's faithfulness to us has been incredible! From real financial stress, to sleepless nights filled with homework and crying babies, to days without really seeing each other, to sacrificing wants for needs, learning how to live more frugally, learning how to open ourselves to our church-family, to really growing and developing a tangible love for The Lord. Seeing our weaknesses, our empty bank accounts, our inability to manage stress well, our lack in parenting and love for one another, has caused us to see the inverse of God's strength, provision, steadfastness and intimate care for us and we are thankful that this is the means that He has taught us to trust Him more.
The Lord has sustained us for four long years of Seminary! Adam has been a full-time student, worked full-time (between multiple jobs) so that I can stay home with our boys, been a kind, loving, forgiving and encouraging husband, has been faithful in our desires to grow our family, been a loving, engaged and tender disciplinary for our children, he has been a committed friend, devoted to his studies, grown in a desire to understand God's word and to see it proclaimed and I am beyond grateful and proud that he is mine!
