Twelve years ago on this very day, I entered into the covenant of marriage with Paige Jeanette Chorpening. She walked down that aisle a Chorpening and walked back up it a Van Voorst. That day, God made her and I into one. He superintended our wedding and made us both something we had never been before and would not be thereafter until the death of one of us or His return.
Since then, there have been a lot of opportunities to be what we already were made - one.
One mealtime, one show we're watching together, one address, one last name, one bed, one bed time, one friend group, one church, one God, one faith, one bank account, one team, one dream, one, one one...
We are more one today in many ways than we were that day twelve years ago today when we walked back up that aisle in Cornerstone Church of Ames' South Auditorium. But in another way, we are no more one than we were made that day - a oneness provided by God into which we are growing accustomed.
The hour has struck twelve and another twelve remains before we round out a days worth of years. It is high noon in the Van Voorst household. I'm excited to see how the rest of the day plays out.
