This weekend, hubby and I will celebrate our 2 year anniversary.  I can’t believe how fast the past two years have FLOWN by. They have been absolutely amazing and I really expect them to get even better.  I wanted to share a few things I’ve learned from being married.

How deeply our God loves us.

If marriage has taught me anything…It has taught me about love.  True love. Agape love.  The love that is so deep that only God can give.  I always thought I had a bit of a grasp on how God loves us.  I had John 3:16 memorized.  I knew despite all we do, that He loves us. I’ve been told all that my entire life.

It was until saying I do, and beginning a life with this man that God had created for me, did I realize I didn’t understand His love at all.  It is unconditional.  Unbelievable.  Something we as humans can’t wrap our minds around.  But God created marriage between a man and a woman to to perfect, pure and intimate.  Just like He wants our relationships with Him to be.

My husband has taught me how to love fully.  For that, I am forever grateful.  I have a deeper love for our Father who created us with each other in mind. I have a deeper love for my husband each and everyday.  It’s truly a beautiful and perfect thing.

Our parents always told us that when we had kids of our own we’d understand why they love us so much and why they do the things they do for us.

Hey mom & dad…I’m starting to get it.

After marrying who I believe to be the greatest man on the planet, I wasn’t sure I’d have enough love inside of me to love anything else. 

It’s amazing how God creates babies, and grows our love for them over time. I’ve never seen her little face. I’ve never held her hand, or touched her. I am patiently (some days not-so-patiently) waiting until the day I get to see her face to face!

How much is that like our relationship with God? We haven’t seen him, or touched him. Yet we talk to him everyday and look so forward to the day we see his face.

As much as I’m not a fan of pregnancy…I’m a fan of this love. I am growing more in love with my baby girl everyday, and more in love with a perfect God who created her and is shaping her everyday inside of me.

Wow. I guess I do have enough love.

I’ve found it difficult to blog lately. Yes, I’ve been busy.  But it’s more than that.  When I start to write, I’ve been finding myself staring at a blank screen and struggling to put words on it. I wasn’t sure I’d come to a point in my life where I would be speechless, but I think I’m there.

I am so taken back by how much I am loved by a God who created the universe.  He has so many things and people to care for, and still loves me so personally.  That’s a hard fact to grasp.

We have a lot of exciting and wonderful things happening in our lives and so much to look forward to.  We are thankful that God provides for us, cares for us and has wonderful plans for us!!

I wish I had more to say, but there are no words.  I am loved.  I am blessed.  And for that, I am thankful.

How is God blessing you today?

I am overwhelmed with blessings.  I am overwhelmed with a God who loves me more than I can understand.  I am overwhelmed by the beauty He gives and shows us. 

We serve a God SO big and so mighty.  He shows us such grace and compassion.  He is the ultimate picture of love.  My hubby has been blogging about a song called “How He Loves”, and I too cannot get this song out of my head and can’t stop praising a God that is the giver of all things beautiful and perfect!

He knows us. He loves us.  He makes us perfectly in His image.

Psalm 139: 13-18

14 I thank you, High God — You’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration — what a creation!

Lord, thank you for your GRACE.

I find myself being very impatient sometimes.  Well, a lot of the time.  We live in a world of instant gratification.  We can pause our TVs and record shows so we don’t have to wait 3 minutes for the commercials to end.  We can pick up our cell phones and call, text, e-mail, facebook, etc.  When I don’t get an e-mail back from someone in  matter of minutes I start either worrying something is wrong with them, or getting frustrated that they are taking so long to get back with me.  I expect it NOW. 

I reached over to my radio this morning to rewind it because there was something I wanted to hear again.  Seriously? How selfish am I that I think I should get everything I want when I want it?

We were created by a God with great patience.  He has to be.  Have you met the human race?? We’re nuts! If he wasn’t the most insanely patient being, he would have zapped us all LONG ago.  ZAP!

All that to say, I’m thankful I was created in the image of HIM.  Who is way more patient than me. 

However, I bet he got a good laugh out of me trying to rewind my radio.  Give it a few years, we’ll be there.
