When Trey and I began dating 8 years ago, I don't think it was long before we knew that we would get married. The story of how we met is kind of long, but ultimately God brought us together. There is no doubt in my mind that Trey is the man that God created to be my spiritual leader, best friend, and partner in life.
One night after Trey and I had been dating a while, he told me about a song that meant a lot to him. He said that he wanted to have it played at his wedding. It was called "A Page is Turned" by Bebo Norman.
A little less than a year later, we did have that song played during our wedding ceremony. As I listen to the lyrics of that song today, on our seventh wedding anniversary, I realize how true they are to me. We have gone through a lot of trials and had many challenges in the last seven years. We have also had some amazing blessings, the most important being our two daughters!
I am so proud to call Trey my husband. While he is not perfect, he has been exactly what I've needed. I know that God created us for each other. Trey has consistently been a godly spiritual leader for me. He encourages me, supports me, listens to me. He is a wonderful father to our girls. I can't imagine life without him.
Just as these lyrics say, he has been the one "to hold me up when I come undone." Happy Anniversary Trey, I love you!
"A Page is Turned"
A page is turned by the wind to a boy in curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten
But as history unfolds and the storybook is told
He finds salvation but not at the hands of man
And the God of second chance
Picked him up and He let him dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, preparing him, the one
To hold him up when he comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And now a man, here you stand
Your day has come
A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl
With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled
By the language in her soul, that's teaching her to grow
With a careful cover of love that will not fail
And the God of second chance
Picked her up and He let her dance
Through a world that isn't kind
And all this time, preparing her the one
To hold her up when she comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And grown up tall, here you are
Your day has come
Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by his hand
And warm within the ardor, she took his heart instead
And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand
Just for her hand
A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife
And there is no secret to the source of this much life
When the grace that falls like rain is washing them again
Just a chance to somehow rise above this land
Where the God of second chance
Will pick them up and he'll let them dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, they're sharing with the one
That holds them up when they come undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And once again, here you stand
And once again, here you stand
Your day has come
