Special Day

Today is my husband Birthday. :)

I feel so incredibly blessed that I know this man and not only that, but that God created him in such a unique way and a way that both him and I fit so well together. I'm one blessed girl to have this man in my life!

I was thinking about it the other day when I was looking at Ben and admiring the man he is...I just kept thinking about how cool he is! :) hehehe
He has such a love and passion for so many things and he always puts his ALL into everything he does. I never see him give less than 100% on something. I look up to him in so many ways. He is such a hard work, a great leader, a wonderful encourager, expresses his love and care, (the list could go on)...I"ll spare you.

This week has been extra special for me. Since I've gone back to school and had to figure out the whole study thing over again, I've been able to witness some really neat things and I know it's God showing me stuff all over again. This week has been rough, challenging, exciting, and very knowledgeable. I've seen my husband give me the support he has said from day one he would give me when we decided I would go back to school. I didn't even have to ask him to help me, he jumped right in to help me as I was reading a chapter in my book. I loved that! :) And to sit and listen to him try to explain to me what a cation and an anion are/is...was rather...o what's the word...beautiful. In that moment is when I realized how deep his passion and knowledge goes for things! He's a smart cookie! :) But I sat back and listened to him explain this stuff to me and I couldn't help but NOT listen to the content and instead I was listening to the passion that God has GIVEN him! "Who honestly gets this stuff? and not only that, but who cares?"...well MY HUSBAND! :) But its SOOO COOL to me how he GETS IT and HE WANTS ME TO GET IT! God has given him the amazing talent to teach others...my husband is SOOO patient!

Also in this week I've realize through my Human Body class just how ridiculously awesome our bodies are! I've been able to understand this stuff a lot better than I did in high school, but it is just mind blowing at how our bodies operate! Seriously...ridiculous! And all I could think about was "what an awesome creator we have!"
How else does our body just function the way it does? It can't. God specifically created a cell, tissue, organs and each of them function separately, but together. It's mind boggling how some can think that this just APPEARED. It's like when someone made the computer...do you think it just BOOM appeared for us all to use and work on...NO...someone spent numerous amount of time and materials to create such a machine. Our bodies are no different. God spent his time ON YOU, on US, on ME. And not only that, we are all so unique in our own ways and gave us all our own little passions and desires and thoughts. Why? So that we could all help each other out and work together!
If we all were "cells", we wouldn't accomplish anything. For example... if we were all engineers, we would have a lot of stuff made, but we wouldn't have anyone else in this world to use it (heal us - (doctors). If we were all doctors, we wouldn't have anyone to make the equipment the doctors use - (engineers).
And when I look at my husband and how God specifically created him...I just smile! Because what his passion and love is, is not mine. (he loves science, I can't figure it out). But God created him with that knowledge and now he is able to HELP me with it. God created me with a passion to organize (my husband sometimes is not organized)...so I help him out and make sure things are in the right place for him.

This week has been so cool to realize how our bodies work and what makes us tick and not tick.

Today, and everyday, I'm so thankful for my gifted husband. I'm blessed at how God created him and not only that but that God decided to put us two together to experience life together. What a blessing and a gift we have! I appreciate so much the love and passion and joy my husband has more so today and this week than I have ever had in the 7 years I have known him. I thank you Jesus for showing me that this week, and of all weeks on his Birthday! Thank you for the caring person he is and for the example he is to MANY around him of what Christs LOVE is. Thank you for his kind heart and giving heart! Thank you Lord Jesus for this sweet sweet man! I pray I can continue to love and appreciate this man while you have given him to us here on earth!

Happy Birthday duck!
