I was just asked what my number one moment of 2007 was. It didn’t take me long to decide.
After deciding to follow God to Charlotte, my great friends at North Point Community Church Middle School Ministry took me to lunch to say goodbye. Near the end of the meal Anita asked if she could stand and say something. My beautiful wife went on to thank these incredible people for how they have pushed, challenged, encouraged and loved me to become a better person, friend, husband and father.
There isn’t a moment in the last year that comes even close to that one. No one on Earth has more influence on me than my wife. She is the tool God has used to sharpen me. She is the way God shows His love for me. This year has been amazing because of the way we have grown together. Here are my top ten 2007 Anita moments.
1. Praying and agreeing to move to Charlotte.
1. Vacationing in Florida (just the two of us)
1. Going through Intimate Encounters Bible Study.
1. Leading a small group together.
1. Mission trip to Africa.
1. Anniversary celebration in downtown Atlanta.
1. Symphony night in downtown Charlotte.
1. Thank you moment at goodbye lunch.
1. Getting flowers in San Diego in my hotel room. (yep, SHE sent them to ME)
1. Waking up next to the love of my life each morning.
I know I listed them all as number one. There’s no way to accurately rank them. Thank you for being my wife and friend this year Anita. I could not have done this without you. I love you.
