I haven't written here in awhile. So much has been going on. I have been busy. Busy planning a wedding. Busy getting over Mono. Busy starting a second quarter of student teaching. Busy learning lots of things.

One thing God has been revealing to me is the way in which we all need to be loved. I think we all need to learn to let the Lord love on us. We also can learn a lot learning to love one another.

Phil came into my life after a time of my being rooted in my singleness and God asked me to give up that identity and fully allow myself to be loved. The television is full of horrible examples of selfish love, love that is based on looks or getting. Sometimes it is easy to look on those and not understand real love.

What I love about Philip David is that he wishes to honor me in a way that I don't deserve. None of us really deserve love, and that is what makes love so great. We give love not because the recipient is perfect but because Love manifests it self when we give it away. It is his will that Phil and I love each other because he brought us together and we don't want to rob one another of that blessing. Everyday I thank God that he has blessed me with this man of God. I never would have believed this kind of selfless love exsisted, that I could recieve it or could be capable to give it away. It does.

I guess I have seen so much brokeness and grief sometimes it is easier to believe the lie of the enemy that true Love can't exist. If you are believing that I encourage you to let go of that idea. People are not perfect but Gods love is perfect casting out all our fears. His love manifest in his people, in all their relationships, leads to joy and love, not brokeness. He wants to bless you more than you know.
