Love will hold us together.

One month ago today.
I married my best friend.
We are so happy and in love. 
Life with him is simply the best.
I love waking up beside him every day.
. . . 
Some people say it is just the butterflies and "oh...young love" but its not.
We work at it. 
We choose to love each other everyday. 
We pray every night before we go to bed.
We ask for forgiveness from God & each other when we're wrong .
We make each other smile & laugh.
We tell each other everything.
We hold each other.
We LOVE each other.
And at the end of the day, if everything goes wrong...
We look to each other, smile and say its okay
because we have each other!
.....
It don't have a job. Don't pay your bills. Won't buy you a home in Beverly Hills. Won't fix your life in five easy steps. Ain't the law of the land or the government.
But it's all you need.
Love
will hold us together, make us a shelter to weather the storm. And I'll be my brother's keeper so the whole world will know that we're not alone!
.....
This is the quote from a song by Matt Maher! 
Have you heard of him? 
He's a Catholic Christian singer/songwriter. and I love his music.
But this particular song... is my favorite.
It's so true. 
Life is not always easy. But if God is on your side, who can be against?
Because God is Love.
That's all I got. Reflections of the day. I'm feeling pretty blessed.
Thanks for stoppin by:
xoxo Jen.

  2. "Young love" can sometimes be very wise love. Fresh perspective is important, and when something is new (like a marriage) we can really embrace it as we ought- untainted, full of forgiveness for all of our newbie fumbling and mistakes. Nothing wrong with that! Nick often found himself correcting his longer-married coworkers back when we were in Tally, because they would say very sarcastic things about their spouses. They'd tell him, "You just don't understand," and he'd say "And it seems like you could use some more understanding as well!" Straight up, yo- marriage is a blessing when we act like blessings ourselves! Loving your posts and positivity, Jenna!
