[January] Day 18: 3 Gifts from God’s Word
These daily gifts make me think hard because having an interfaith marriage makes it difficult to respond to ones like today’s. However, even my Husband finds God’s word inspiring in some aspects, which I’m grateful for.
[Both of us] “If a Christian man has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to continue living with him, he must not leave her. And if a Christian woman has a husband who is not a believer, she must not leave him. For the Christian wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the Christian husband brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwise, your children would not be holy, but now they are holy. (But if the husband or wife who isn’t a believer insisists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the Christian husband or wife is no longer bound to the other, for God has called you to live in peace.) Don’t you wives realize that your husbands might be saved because of you? And don’t you husbands realized your wives might be saved because of you? Each of you should live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you and remain as you were when God first called you. This is my rule for all the churches.” -1 Corinthians 7:12-18 NLT
Our marriage, in a nutshell, is this. We live our lives in a way we are proud of and while one of us shares a better relationship with God, we’ve grown together through his word.
[Veronica] “Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.” -Proverbs 31:30 What better quote to sing a woman’s praise then this? In God’s word I’ve learned so much in my adult life. I’ve learned patients and trust, honesty and true love. I know what it means to be true to myself and if you ever need more of a boost, like us women so often do, Proverbs 31 will do it. Women are gifts, we’re blessings. We truly are beautiful on the inside out. A daily reminder and appreciation for ourselves is this verse.
[Scott] ”Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”- Romans 12:21. This passage has always meant the most to me. It is the universal truth of my life, and a creed that I aspire to live by. I care for this passage so much, I had it tattooed to my right inner forearm. This passage reminds to always take the high road in life and to fight for what is right. It is a big reason why I carry a firearm on a daily basis. It is the reason why I hold outdated concepts such as honor and courtesy as a priority in my life. Even as a non-Christian, I respect the truth that this verse evokes.
I could use some company.
When I’m working this often I get stuck in my head. I get cranky and whiny and I need a booster. I’m hoping to answer questions tonight so please don’t hesitate to be curious.
You can get me here.
Husband enjoyed making the video by the way, even if he doesn’t admit it ;)

Bottle of wine, amazing Husband, terrific night of bowling with the family…I think I’ve had the best birthday weekend I’ve had in a while!
In my sleep the other night I rolled over facing Husband and said to him, “of course you have the most beautiful blue eyes.” He says now he knows I mean it. Well, OF COURSE I MEAN IT! He’s almost too adorable. There are moments every day where when I look at him, every good memory we’ve ever had together shows and I’m reminded of how blessed I am. Here recently another young married couple I know have been having so much trouble, there marriage is in make or break mode. The thing here is that this couple got married for all the wrong reasons and now they are feeling the burns of this decision. I feel sad for them knowing that they are now part of a statistic and that’s what I’m trying so hard to prevent for the young couples I know but things happen and all I can do now is pray for them and their children. This is exactly why society has such jaded views on young marriage. Somewhere along the lines you must of forgotten what brought you together in the first place! Thankfully I have a Husband that makes it impossible for me to forget and we are just so in love!
My brother-in-law and his fiance skipped out on family bowling tonight because they were fighting (what else is new). Hopefully there will be a day when we’re not tempted to feel more doubt about their relationship. I can’t even believe I’m typing it now. Things should just not be this way. If any of you are looking for a young married couple, making it, here I am :)

“but you’re so young?!”
People automatically assume that at a young age you aren’t married, they never check for a ring and rarely do they ask you. This is kind of silly considering the fact that young marriage is back in full swing. When I started college, people flirted with you without even checking to see if maybe you had a boyfriend, let alone a husband. That still has changed and this was two years ago.
Husband and I were at the mall the other day and these guys in a truck stopped right outside the JCPenny entrance, looked straight at me (ignoring his existence) and ask where JCPenny was. I pointed up at the sign and his response was this, “oh, you don’t say.” The proceeded to drive all the way across the street to Target. My husband was furious knowing that right in front of him these guys would stop simply to talk to me.
This is so disrespectful but happens often, to me and him. It’s not just the flirting though, people are surprised to hear you married young just because to them, it simply doesn’t happen. People give you a look like “What is wrong with you?!” or they just assume you married for the wrong reasons and have no clue what you’re doing, which is so annoying. I guess this is the price you pay for falling in love and moving on to the next chapter at a young age. I can see if maybe I were an immature adolescent girl but that’s just not the case. I shouldn’t have to explain myself, of course I will find myself having to do it again, though.

Any other questions for us?

When we fight: I am usually the last one to admit my mistakes. We yell…loudly. I usually end up crying (He’s the first guy that has really been able to do that to me.) I always want to get away. He always growls of frustration. We always both feel really stupid after, even if it was worth it.
When we’re alone: There is a lot of play. We tickle and laugh. We watch movies and almost always end up renting stupid low budget films. We cook together and have in depth, meaningful conversations about nothing and about everything. We love on one another.
When we’re bored: We go on walks and/or drives. We visit family almost every free day we get. We sometimes just nap a lot because of our busy work schedules. We do a lot of things married couples do ;)
When he makes me mad: “Really? Just stop because you’re just annoying me.”
When I make him mad: “I can never catch a break can I?!”
Our plans: Getting our careers in gear and making babies. Building our dream home in a few years and being comfortable financially.
This is me. This is the man I married two years ago. This is how he proposed. I might possibly be the luckiest woman in the world.

There are so many little moments where I look at him and think…I am so blessed, I know that one day you will make an amazing father. I know it may seem like I’m obsessing over this baby fever but how can you not seeing your Husband so in love with every child he holds onto?
I don’t know when God will bless us with a baby and I’m not stressing over it too much anymore but there are some days, like this one, moments when I see him so in love and prepared. I feel pressured now because we are the oldest in our families and the married ones. It’s hard when people ask you why there are still no babies and I don’t have an answer forr them. Not that I need one. This man is the most perfect man for me and he’s what I need now, Husband/Wife time is always a plus and I know one of these days I will appreciate the time we’ve had. At least that’s what I’m told.
Seeing him with our niece really digs out my baby fever but for now I’m okay with spending our days spoiling her. For now.
