Prayer time for July brides!!! (Sorry I'm a week late on this.)
If you were married in the month of July, please leave as a comment to this post your names, wedding date, how long you've been married and something you love about your husband.
For example: (this is mine from January)
Paul & Lori
January 18th (27 years)
My husband loves adventure. He makes me laugh and keeps me young.
Let's be a praying community and lift up these gals and their July marriages.
Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness. Martin Luther

I love my husband because he practices “CO2″ consideration of others,and he’s very funny, keeps me laughing everyday, and his commitment to me. We’ve stayed together through his military career, three deployments, nine moves, and 10 years of unsuccessful fertility treatments.

Matt & Dawn
July 2
8 Years
I love watching Matt grow more and more into a man of God as well as a husband who is actively seeking to live with his wife in a way that suits us best as a couple. His patience always amazes me, especially when it comes to my own faults and our sweet-but-sinful kiddos. He’s also a renaissance man — techie, artist, handy man, music man, comedian… And he’s European Spanish. Those eyes are captivating! OK. I should stop. Just know that I LOVE the husband God has blessed me with!
