Reading is important! No questions asked, not even a blink of the eye from any student I grew up with. We are given the assurance that every season of marriage will be forth coming and that there will be so many moments to add to our Christy and Todd scrapbook. their needs, their hopes, their foundation of friends, and their family support that you enjoy observing as their lives together begin to unfold. The storyline is so well woven between these young lives. Robin has not disappointed her fans, this book is all about hope and strength. Many of us have read and enjoyed their meeting, their high school years, their college ups and downs, and finally the celebration of their wedding. It is so refreshing to read stories in which the characters are so well faceted that you are comfortable with where the story line is going (joyously, with sorrow, or with trepidation) you trust the author's purpose.Īny of us who have survived those first five years of marriage can stand united with a witness that the road ahead will get better, that there will be joy, and that each season of life will work itself out as long as there is patience and love (1 Corinthians 13:4).Ĭhristy and Todd is an ongoing series. Being willing to be patient, loving, and supportive of each other in times of struggles. Standing together for an answer to prayer. This type of strength endures due to the desire to walk out the challenges with prayer.

The strength of these characters is their natural 'faith' in God's word, His ability to provide, and His plan/will for their lives. So as Christy and Todd walk through some tough times, we witness the power of a faith born and modeled in a very realistic scenario for so many married couples. With every decision there is a waiting period, one in which while waiting on the Lord to confirm your next step you must rely on scripture passages and your family or friends to pray with you. Todd has those moments for discerning what will be best for them, their future, and God's plan. Christy has those moments when, as a wife, she struggles to follow Todd's lead. Married life is shaping into that period of challenges, changing expectations, and realizing that life isn't always following 'your' outline. To begin your visit you must know that it has already been two years since you attended their wedding. and feeling as if all is right in your world. Isn't it a joy when you turn the last page and you sit back as if you have just finished a Thanksgiving meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Christy and Todd.

Forever with you robin jones gunn
