Pictures & Words

Most people throw away cards after they get 'em.

I keep most of mine.

While I was putting these up tonight I got tears in my eyes thinking about how I will be looking at these Wedding cards and be reminded of the amazing gift of my husband, AJ, whom I adore. It will remind me of the promises I've made, the verses remind me of what love truly is, and the amount of cards makes me feel so loved by all the people I received them from.

During my courtship and my wedding I didn't really view it as super romantic because I was enthralled in the comfort of just being with AJ that was such a unique experience for me with any guy. But now that I get to look back and really view it for what it is, listening to love songs at home while he's away working , it really is awesome.

Most people know, but I have this week off of work. I hope to use this time to get done so much of what I've been wanting to since I got married. I have worked on so much already today I am really excited for how it's going. I've been able to worship and really see how much I need to be talking to my Lord. And I've been actually able to feel relaxed a midst getting things done.

Things like organizing my wedding cards, doing my Thank You notes, going to Social Security to change my last name and organize my home. And that's just today! I am feeling blessed and very thankful so far.

Also on Sunday night, the girls who were at College Group all prayed for me for my stress and emotions and I was really blessed by that! Their hands on me and their sincere words touched my heart. Thank you, Val, Jill, Sarah, Lauren, Amy and Mom.

I'm hoping it will only get better...and I'll be able to have my arms and hands outstretched so only Christ can shine through me.
