Our hearts are full as we look back on the best year of our lives… of course, every year (when lived smack-dab in the center of God’s will) explodes with delights and life lessons that come from knowing the Lover of your soul while growing closer to Him. I’ve seen the Lord through Woody’s everyday living, giving and “dying.” Life just can’t get any better as we “earnestly remember the marvelous deeds that He has done, His miracles and wonders.”

Bon Voyage | May 1-14th, London, U.K. to Rome, Italy!  In between… Dublin, Cork, Oporto, Lisbon, Gibraltar, Barcelona, Monte Carlo and  a few days at sea!

Let us rejoice and shout for joy! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself. Revelation 19:7 AMP

I was blessed to join my bride for the Easter weekend in Bonham with her family. Thanks For making this a fabulous trip Gina!!

Gina was up visiting with Woody and his family at the Robertson cottage after the Thanksgiving holiday. 

Woody: I had dreamed of getting engaged by the lighthouse on the beach in Macatawa Park where my family's cottage is located. This was the ideal spot where we'd be private and also a spot where I knew that we'd be visiting many times to come and could reminisce our special moment where our love "officially" began.

Our official relationship began when I surprised Gina by meeting her, her mom and dad for their “special night“ together at the Reunion Tower. I brought two pink roses and a pink wrapped box which contained two identical pictures of a sailboat excursion we had shared together along with several others after the EIS conference. My dad took the picture and it has special significance as we were together and also because Gina has for the past year seen God through various sailing and nautical analogies.  Needless to say, it took her completely by surprise.
