Three years ago today, Rance proposed to me and on that day when I said "YES" - I knew I had signed up for CRAZY.

By CRAZY - I am not talking about Rance's personality because YES that is CRAZY (and I super duper love it).  What I meant was - I knew that day when I accepted his proposal, screamed yes, cried like a baby, and placed the engagement ring on my finger - I was not only committing my life to my future husband but to a man that without a doubt seeks God's face and His sweet will daily and who is ready and willing to yield to Father no matter what that looks like, which in turn meant I was saying I was willing to do the same no matter the costs.  I was saying YES to living a life fully submitting to my husband as he is in full submission to CHRIST no matter where that might take us or what that might mean.  That's the kind of crazy I am talking about.  Rance was not proposing to someone he thought would question his leadership, resist his authority, or refuse to yield to Christ & His direction.  Afterall, sweet boy Rance made it clear where the Lord wanted him long before he proposed.  He never asked if I wanted him to move - he let me know where I could move :) 

One can only imagine how much Jennifer has had to DIE to SELF along the way.  But hello, the world needs a lot LESS Jennifer and a lot MORE Jesus so I'm thankful that I've died a LOT the past 3 years!   

So yes, I signed up for CRAZY but who wants to sign up for BORING anyways?

where it all went down :)

So here is to CRAZY, an abundant marriage, and no turning back!
