Focus on What's Important
This January, I celebrate my 15th wedding anniversary.
I look forward to celebrating with my best friend, who just so happens to be my husband, Kenya. Back when we fell in love, Kenya was a young twenty-something senior in college, living with his mom, working at Family Dollar. He didn't have a car back then. So he would pick me up for dates in his late mother's rust bucket. I remember it was so raggedy, that there was a padlock on the hood of the car just to keep it from blowing up while coasting along the expressway.
We still laugh about that.
I even remember how Kenya, my sweet boyfriend, used to buy me sweatshirts from Family Dollar as gifts. Bless his heart.
I wasn't worried about what was in Kenya's pockets, though. I was more interested in his relationship with God and his character. I took notice of how he didn't pressure me to have sex before marriage, and I was a virgin the day we exchanged our vows.
