Love is more than a Feeling!!
So... I got married a little over a month ago on June 12. I married the "Man of my Dreams"... (haha... I know I'm a little nerdy!) We met at church in the singles 20's-40's class. I was 27 and Tristan, my husband, was 40. We started out by just being friends and hanging out and then it quickly became more and we started dating. We dated for about 8 months before I decided he was not the "one" for me...because I thought something was "missing"... So, we broke up for about 3 months and then started seeing each other again and got engaged within a week! We were engaged for about a year and a half and then, I did it again... We broke up! Same reason... I felt like something was missing, but I was not sure what it was. Well, I finally realized what it was. It was me expecting this certain feeling of warm fuzzies, luvy luvy all the time, etc... When all said in done that's not reality!!! I think a lot of times we women expect love to be like that and if it doesn't stay that way, then somethings wrong or missing... When we think like that we don't have the right concept of love! Love is not just a feeling... Love is an ACTION!! It took me a long time to figure that out!!! Luckily, when I came to my senses a year and a half later Tristan believed in our love still, after everything we went through!! God has blessed me in so many ways, but definately by giving me such an amazing husband!! Love is a very powerful word!! One of my favortie scriptures in the bible is "The Greatest Command" 1 Corinthians 13 4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. GOD is LOVE!!! So, almost 2 months ago we got married and I am more in love with him now, then I ever have been!!! <3
