Episode 002 - 20 Years Strong: A Toast to Our Beautiful Blended Family

Celebrate with me, your host, Angelic Gibson, as we toast to twenty years of successfully blending families. Who would have thought that my husband and our four lovely daughters would orchestrate a surprise twenty-year celebration in a rented mountain castle, complete with a chef and staff to serve us? This heartwarming episode is a testament to our journey as a blended family, with joys, triumphs, and challenges that have shaped us into who we are today.
Navigating the waters of being a blended family didn't come without its trials. Our approach has always been putting love first, acknowledging the strength of prayer, and understanding the power of words. From making no distinctions between biological and non-biological children to the pure joy of Christmas, we've recognized the value of shared experiences, common goals, and united love.
We've found the secret to a thriving blended marriage - prioritizing God, our marriage, and then the children. It might sound simple, but maintaining this order has been vital. It's been a voyage of bonding during family vacations, growing together during devotions, and keeping each other accountable during date nights. Away from distractions, we've created an environment of understanding, love, and trust.
Family friction is inevitable, and we've not only embraced it but learned from it. Our mantra, 'hug it out until you can turn it into laughter,' has fostered a sense of unity across our family. It's been an exciting journey, one that has taught us about God's mercy, love, prayer, and the strength of words. We've stayed true to our order, keeping God first, then our marriage, and then the children. Tune in to our latest episode, and let's spur each other on in God's way. We're excited to hear how you plan to apply these lessons to your own family.
