New Post-Marriage Post

I am the only one to blame for this. Somehow it all ends up the same. Soaring on the wings of selfish pride I flew too high, and like Icharus I collide with a world I try so hard to leave behind to rid myself of all but love, to give and die... To turn away and not become another nail to pierce the skin of one who loved more deeply than the oceans, more abundant than the tears of a world embracing every heartache...	I look beyond the empty cross forgetting what my life has cost and wipe away the crimson stains and dull the nail that still remains. More and more I need you now; I owe you more each passing hour. Battle between grace and pride--I gave up not so long ago, so steal my heart and take the pain, and wash my feet and cleanse my pride. Take the selfish, take the weak, and all the things I cannot hide. Take the beauty, take my tears. My sin-soaked heart--make it yours. Take my world all apart...

Loving it.

I've been sick twice. He's been sick once. And I'm currently a waddling mess of back pain. But I'm loving it (minus the pain part).

I've gotta say, I know speakers talk all the time about Christ's love for the church being like marriage, His pursuit, His love, etc., but it really takes on a whole different meaning to see it poured out on you. Sick twice? Back pain? Yeah, lots of over-and-above chances to show love when, in my opinion, I'm a lot less lovable. I can be so good at whining. Sooo good. He's pretty great, and he's giving me an awesome picture of Christ's love.

Chalk it up to another bunch of blessings from God.

On a slightly different note... It may take me quite awhile to get used to the road systems in this new place--my strength is not in geography--but I do know how to get to two different Walmarts, but I figure everything else basically falls into place from there, right?
