God is good.
He blesses me undeservingly and without limit.
The biggest blessing thus far, my husband.
He's a man who loves me like Christ loves the church.
He takes care of me, loves unconditionally, and reminds me everyday how special he thinks I am.
He takes time to just listen when I need an ear, and hugs me from behind when he can see my anxiety rising.
He's the optimist my sometimes pessimistic alter ego needs.
He keeps me in check, and is always pointing me back to Jesus.
He reminds me that I'm strong when I sometimes feel bogged down and weak.
He prays BIG prayers, and believes in THE big God who hears and can answer them.
Life just ain't the cake walk we want it to be. But God is so faithful to provide us with a hand to hold in His Holy Spirit and His word. And usually on more than one occasion we get blessed with people to hug us and hold us too. My husband is my favorite hug..
God revealed to me long before Jake and I were even dating that he was going to be my husband. I look back on the last three years and am so thankful for the hard stuff. It was 10 months of prayer after meeting Jake and hanging out with him a little, that taught me how to trust Jesus even when I couldn't see the whole picture. God asked me to pray for a man that I barely knew, and eventually revealed that I would one day marry him. It didn't make any sense. Many days being obedient sucked. It was hard. But I knew that I knew there was a purpose in my prayer, and that God had never asked me to do anything before that wasn't for a reason.. I had to trust him. I'm overjoyed that I did. Because I was obedient when it wasn't easy, because I prayed what and when the Holy Spirit prompted, I ended up with a husband who is more than I ever could have imagined.
Jake is a man who loves with every ounce of who he is.
He's compassionate, dependable, and would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it.
He's hard working and oh so creative when it comes to anything he can make with his hands.
He's my favorite everything.
If God is asking you to do something that doesn't quite make sense right now, I can't encourage you enough to stick to it. Do what He's asking and KNOW that His plans for you are GOOD. They will always turn out far better than anything you could have planned yourself. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to see the good, but He promises you'll see it eventually.
Press on!
