Today I celebrate 9 amazing years with Trent!!!! I am not really in awe that we have been married for 9 years, I am more amazed at the man God brought into my life. Over 12 years ago I met Trent for the first time one early evening in Atlanta, we attended a bible study together that was being taught by Louie Giglio. Our two aunts set us up on a "friend/blind date" and well let's just say the rest was history.
Immediately I knew he was different. The more I got to know him the more I saw God's amazing hand on his life. We instantly connected and realized we had so many of the same dreams and most importantly we both had the call to ministry. I enjoyed just hanging out with him and getting to know his family. He was thoughtful, sweet, funny and everyone who knew him LOVED him. He had an amazing reputation and without a doubt a man of integrity. I can remember saying goodbye to him at Southeastern Seminary, I knew our time apart would be the ultimate test. During that time I realized I could not live without him and I was praying he was feeling the same. A year later on December 19th he surprised me with a romantic evening, a beautiful ring and a surprise party with all our friends and family. It was a dream come true.
Nine years ago at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on July 31st, after an hour and half ceremony (that is a whole different story), I married Trenton Douglas Peacock. The man I knew without a shadow of a doubt was made for me, the one I had been waiting for, was standing at the end of the isle waiting for me. In that moment I only saw him and had a peace that could only come from God. What a moment, it was everything I had ever dreamed of. My heart was racing so fast and I couldn't wait to be standing beside him. Once I had arrived at his side I was so calm and happy. I didn't think I could love someone so much!
Now nine years later I feel the same. In fact being married is so weird because I feel like I am not complete without him. Trent, you are my everything, the person my hearts still skips a beat for, the man I long for when we are not together, the very first person I want to share the details of my day with, you are still the one that I want to lay my eyes on before I go to bed and the first person I want to look at when I wake in the morning. I love you more and more every year, thank you for being the man that God has called you to be! I am forever yours.
