Cris Ann Barton

I am so in love with the newest Mrs. Barton. This is not just an emotional honeymoon type of love but it is grounded in the Lord and built to last. Her willingness to learn and grow in every situation is so amazing and a breath of fresh air. We both understand that we are far from perfect and we will often disagree and even fight, but every time we look to the Lord in His Word and allow it to change and mould us into a better partner. Now that I have her I wonder how I ever lived without her. She challenges me to walk what I talk and cares enough to bring up wrongs and not just stay silent in fear. She does it in such a way that could melt my heart and open my eyes to the places I am lacking. She is perfect because she knows she’s not perfect and does not expect me to be either. Without the Lord in the centre, where would we go? Where would we go and humble ourselves and hear word's that will last for eternity and have the power to change our hearts. We are connected by Him and we will last because of Him. I love her most however because she makes me a better person. She does not crush me for my many faults but humbly fills in the gab. She does not try to take the lead because she sees weakness in me, but she uses her gifts and talents to make me a stronger leader and husband. To say I am thankful to the Lord would just not capture the way I feel about Cris Ann. The Lord must have been thinking about me when He formed her. Thank You Lord!
