"The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
We know the rest of the story.
You know what I love? I love the fact that God knew. He knew that man could not do it alone, he couldn't do life alone, he couldn't do anything alone. One thing I know is, "God was so stinkin right!" God knew I could not do life alone, and he most definitely knew I could not do ministry alone, so he made a HELPER for me. And He made that helper in the form of a sassy little chick named Jessica Brantley, now Jessica Weatherford.
I am sitting in a hotel room alone in Atlanta, GA right now while my wife is at home in Augusta, and I find myself so thankful for her. As I look back on our time together almost 9 years of marriage, I am so humbled by the blessings that my Father has entrusted me with. Jessica and Tyler are the greatest blessing in my life. Jess is a strong, bold, sassy, matter of fact, courageous, bossy, sexy, loving and forgiving woman and I am incredibly thankful that God said, "It is not good for man to be alone..." Because he made her for me, and He knew before I knew, that I would most definitely need her. I think I have realized that more over the last year.
Let me say this, it hasn't always been easy, and I have been a jerk and hard to live with, and she has been............. well, I have been a jerk and hard to live with!! And we most definitely have hit some rough patches and then some more really, really rough patches, but she is still here, and I am still here. And I am thankful and grateful for her and her leadership to the women of our church and her support of me as her husband and a father to Tyler and a Pastor to our church family. She is always quick to help me figure out what is right, and is never shy to tell the truth and give her opinion. I am truly blessed!!
"God said it is not good for man to be alone, I will make Jessica for Wesley and she will be suitable for Him!!" Thank you God for knowing...
