My meanderings...: When Two Become One

Yesterday, Jake and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary.

I've been thinking about our wedding day lately and how special and meaningful it ended up.

I was talking with a friend a few weeks ago and she said how our wedding made her cry almost the whole time and that she really felt the presence of God.

That's something we wanted, to honor God and make a statement of what our marriage was going to be about.

One of the most powerful moments of that day was when our dear friends Ryan & Noelle played a song with a vivid message about the biblical understanding of marriage.

I cried the whole time as I thought about how much God had in store for us.

I was learning, and still am, that marriage is so much more than just two people living together.

It's such a beautiful picture of Christ and the church that God also loves to use to refine us.

Nothing like getting married to give you lessons on humility

Well, except maybe having a baby. :)

I'm no longer my own.

I am Jake's and he is mine.

We're one, and I couldn't be happier about that choice.

Here's the song, written by Clay Edwards:

I want a love that is patient

I want a love that is kind

I want a love that endures through the test of time
