Do you ever feel like everything is just amazing? I have been married for almost 10 years and only in this past year have I truely felt happy. I attribute all of this happiness to GOD. I know that without him showing himself a year ago and becoming such a big part of our lives I wouldnt be married anymore. I have never felt so loved and in love as I do at this moment. I truly know now what LOVE feels like. Marriage is difficult. There is nothing "easy" about it. One of the keys to a successful marriage is teamwork. You have to be a team in every adventure and every battle. If someone is selfish and self loathing it wont work. I am amazed at how much someone changes from there twenties to there thirties. I understand why so many young marriages fail. Maturity is a big factor in the success of a marriage also.
For 9 years of our marriage God was not the center of our focus or our lives, and it showed. We struggled greatly. I am thankful that we found Pathways church and settled into the family there. I give major props to Pastor Brent Freeman and his family for welcoming us with open arms and really making us feel at home. I am beyond excited that I convinced Jason to go to this church after I had been a couple times. Brent runs a different kind of ship at Pathways. His preaching is amazing, and he is so down to earth.
Jason has turned into such a Godly man and it is so amazing to see the transformation. He thanks God daily, and talks so openly about him and what he has done for us. We realize we are blessed, and we love how secure that feels.
My marriage is great. I have a beautiful, healthy little girl. I am on the journey to a more healthy lifestyle. I am figuring out who I am and what I want to do with my life. The best part is we are talking about having another baby! That is a huge milestone in our life because we swore we would never have another baby. I think it will be amazing to create another life when we are so in love with eachother. I know that this experience will be amazing. I am excited about life and what it has to offer. I am ready to experience everything. As long as I have God, Jason, and Noelle I am complete.
