“The heart has its reasons, but reason knows nothing of the heart.” B. Pascal
Almost everything in my life pales in comparison to the depth of love, devotion, and soul bond that I have with my bride, Linna. As we parted for this trip, each of our hearts ached to point of breaking. If it were not because the Lord asked me to go, I would not have considered the length of time away from my dearest one. It was an ache beyond description and while we both knew that a simple span of days was before now and my return, it did not diminish the pain of goodbye. But we also knew that the Lord was up to something; the Lion was afoot and He was working something mysterious and beautiful.
The word, Beautiful, is one that begins to scratch the surface of what defines our marriage. This incomparable woman that has graced my side for almost fifteen years has captivated me mind, soul, and spirit. Her depth of love and devotion to Jesus is inspiring beyond words. She submits, she roars, she trembles, she laughs, she chases, she finds – my life would be a wandering dispatch without her.
Lord, thank you for loving Linna so greatly then and now. Take care of my baby, she was yours far before she was ever mine. And I never, ever want to take your place. But rather Lord, from that first bread and cup we took together with you, watch over and keep her joyful, confident, and strong while I am away. She is no better hands. No better hands exist.
