I just had to say Amen after reading this blogpost today over at
http://mycharmingkids.net/ . MckMama is quite the blessing to me.
I have a hard time juggling wife/mama/homemaker/piano teacher WITH 3 monkies.....
I can't imagine having 2 more on top of that AND homeschooling!
She's my hero..... ;)
Anyways.....Jason and I have usually always been very open about our marriage.
Ours is one that takes work. And you know what? It's ok.
Because God deserves the glory in every situation we are in and every season we
travel thru. I will never be a fake person and pretend like life is easy or marriage is easy.
We are together because of Him and we will stay together forever because of Him.
I really really appreicate when others share what they have gone thru....that's how we learn and acquire more tools.
I know there are some of you out there that relationships are very easy and I'm happy for you.
But I'm pretty sure you have struggles elsewhere. Because we are humans and this is earth.
And everyone has something. And I have decided that it's ok that this is my struggle.
And I've decided that the more women that God shows me that struggle with the same thing
that He is trying to show us something. Not just me......He wants you to know too.
He wants you to know that He loves you. He adores you.....He cherishes you....and He's going to fight for you. There's NOTHING that will stop Him....and there's NOTHING that shall seperate His love from us.
Jason and I continue to see this in our marriage and yes.....it's not always fun or easy to go thru these seasons......however: Just knowing that "the mess will be our ministry", and God's intimate reminder and details of love everyday keeps us pushing forward. Not looking back....and fighting for what is right. When God gave me this amazing man to love and honor for the rest of my life....I made that choice when I took those vows. Every day....I choose to love him and fight for our marriage. Because that's what marriage is.
And honestly.....I'm a country girl who loves adventure. So really? I don't think I would enjoy marriage if there were never any fireworks and make-up sessions. I don't do well with dull and boring ;) The hard work is worth it.....the man still makes my heart skip a beat ;)

Laura, I needed to read this. I needed to read alot of your posts. I know I may not be married or even have a special someone but I know every day that God wouldn't put me through something that he doesn't think I can't handle. I have been so down and out lately and my faith has been tested with everything. I know that if I just give everything to God he will show me that he can walk by myside and guide me to where I need to be in life. I read so many blogs and meet so many people who don't even take into consideration that God is with us and sometimes it is hard to believe it. But I just sit back and think, I'm not going through this alone. Thats why this particular blog really reached out to me today. I love reading everything you have to say and it really inspires me. It inspires me to keep my faith strong, with my faith strong I can become strong. Thanks Laura.
