116116Marriage—such a beautiful and lovely institution ordained by God. When we think of marriage, we think forever. We believe we will stand together raising our children, loving each other, and growing as one. We build, we plan. We believe that the only challenges that we will encounter will be when our children are older and when we are older as well. What happens when the unthinkable occurs? No, not infidelity. Not death. But a savage beast with stealth movement. This beast would rock Roy and Anne Whitt from the core of their foundation—the foundation that had been strengthened through fervent prayer and erected out of God's glory.This story was likened to a Job experience! This is the story of their lives. The story that would test the vows spoken to be a lawfully wedded wife and husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do them part.They could not endure these trials without faith.For I am the Lord your Godwho takes hold of your right handand says to you, Do not fear;I will help you.—Isaiah 41:13 NIVAnd without faith it is impossible to please God.—Hebrews 11:6NEVER GIVE UPNEVER GIVE UP
