The Gospel in Marriage

Over the last few weeks, the topic of marriage has come up quite a bit.  I've been thinking about my own marriage.  I've been talking with friends about their marriages.  And with all this conversation, I've come to one major realization that I wanted to share today.  But first, a disclaimer. 

Marriage is the hardest job you'll ever love.

Part 2: Being Pursued

Hey peeps! Thanks for joining in on Part 2 of All My (Christian) Single Ladies.  If you didn't join us for Part 1, this series divulges all my epic fails of singlehood (don't judge me! ha!) and highlights a couple of reasons why godly girlfriends are a must have in the life of a single lady. Every Monday for the next few weeks I'm going to blog on one of these reasons, so be sure to subscribe to the blog if you want to keep up with new posts! As always, I pray that these challenge you, make you laugh, and encourage you.  And if you don't have women in your life that can do these things for you, I would just implore you to start building these types of relationships now!

Part 1: Missionary Dating

Ok so I was inspired to write this blog after an awesome bible study/prayer time with my husband.  I was sitting back reflecting on how amazing it is to be married to a man whose relationship with God I respect so much.  He challenges me and stretches me and knows how to encourage my spirit toward Jesus in a way that is only sent from Heaven.  I am not only a better woman, but I have a stronger, more trusting relationship with God because of his presence in my life.

But enough about him!  This blog isn't about him at all, I'll have you know.  It's about my gratitude to my godly girlfriends!  The girlfriends that held my hand and walked with me down my journey of singlehood.   Who loved me, corrected me, and overall just kept me encouraged during those moments when I was losing patience, doubting my own value, or wanting to making stupid choices to satisfy my temporary loneliness.
