Anniversary Thoughts

As I reminisce about this day 3 years ago when Geoff and I said "I do" and embarked on this journey of life and love together, I can't help but remember the words to the special music sung during the ceremony. Our dear friends, Ginger and Ryan, blessed us by singing "I will be here" by Steven Curtis Chapman while we lit the Unity Candle. I have to admit that the ceremony was such a blur to me that I can't tell you whether the song sounded good or not, but I am sure they did a terrific job! Its funny to me all the hours spent planning and preparing for that day 3 years ago, and how little of the day I truly remember. I’m thankful for pictures and other tangible items, like the lyrics to this song, that remind me of what took place that day and of the commitment Geoff and I made to each other in front of our Father, family and friends. So today I am overwhelmed at the blessing God has given me in a husband, I am reminded of the vows I made to love and to respect him always, and I realize how much growing I still need to do.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen, And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here
