Our wedding October 4, 1992 |
We were married 21 years ago in Tauranga, New Zealand on a beautiful spring day in early October. It was the day our lives truly began. The day we learnt to share our lives with joy and hope. The day we promised before God, family, and friends to cherish each other through the ups and downs of married life.

Now 21 years later with many ups, some downs, and a few deep dark valleys God continues to guide and bless this marriage. We are not where we thought we would be all those years ago but this is a better place, because Jesus is here. The Holy Spirit is the glue that keeps us together. God is the One that we honor with our lives.
Papa Bear was a successful business man in New Zealand when God sent us to Canada in 2010 on his 40th birthday. Now almost 4 years later God has Papa Bear studying for a Masters in Theology. He still owns some of that Finance business in New Zealand. And he still needs to travel back to New Zealand for work but God has him on a new path, with Christ at the center.
As for me, I never dreamed of being married to a preacher man. That's not for me. I'm too shy and introverted to be a preacher's wife. I wanted to be a farmer's wife, hiding out among the animals. But God thought differently. He wanted me to depend on Him completely. So here we are living in a foreign land, learning to love the beauty that surrounds us.

Thank you God for showing us Your glory. Your love truly does endure forever!
Take care and God bless, Mumzy
