yesterday marked 4 year married…
here are some things I’ve learned / things I’m grateful for since getting married before we could even legally drink 😂
✨Marriage is hard. It takes work, it takes sacrifice, it takes commitment.
✨Marriage is insanely cool, I get a front row seat to how God is moving in Micah and it’s incredible. I’ve seen him go from a boy to a man to a father and I’m in awe of who God has made him into. I’m incredibly grateful for the work Micah has put into himself, into his relationship with the Lord, into our relationship, and now into being a dad.
✨Getting married young is so sweet, but it can be overwhelming if you don’t understand the gravity of the covenant you’ve now made between not only you and your person, but between you and God.
✨There has been nights of serious tears, nights we’ve grieved because of each other and other nights we grieve the world together, I don’t think you can have a truly fruitful marriage without crying here and there 😂
✨Micah has seen the ugliest parts of me, and yet shows me just how faithful and forgiving our God is by extending that forgiveness to me. He has also taught me the heartbreaking tension of learning to surrender my own hurt and do the forgiving, to reconcile what’s broken (something I never learned growing up).
✨forgiveness can be HARD, but unforgiveness is worse and sits like poison in your body.
✨being fully known yet fully loved is better than being praised for someone you’re pretending to be
✨There is truly no one else I could spend each and every day with and still be sad when we’re apart - he is my best friend. We laugh hard, cry hard, and fight hard, sometimes with 😂 but mostly for, one another - always because we care.
✨At some point you might have to fight for your marriage, because two broken people becoming one isn’t an easy task, but man is it worth the blood, sweat, and tears. If you belong to the Lord, the enemy is always working against you, he desires to tear you apart- you have to choose to work harder.
✨God has gifted me with a man who fears Him. Who is becoming the most amazing man I know….
