Where Paradise Began

It came to my attention recently that most people who read this blog may not know the story of how Jesse and I got together. I’ve been waiting for the time to sit and write this out again. I love telling the story because every time I do, I am reminded of how greatly God worked in bringing us together, and I fall in love with Jesse a little bit more.

Today, of all days, seemed like an odd one to write such a blog. It’s one of those very rare days when our morning was filled with arguments, anger, and sadness. The whole thing maybe lasted for 15-20 minutes, and it wasn’t for petty reasons. But when we have so little time before going to work, and then spend the next 9 hours apart while each of us works, it sets the tone for a negative day and doesn’t give much time to resolve the issue before needing to part ways.

I guess, as hard as it is, it’s the times like this that make it that much more important to remember what it’s all really about- why we love each other and how we want our marriage to be. So, as a reminder to me and a testimony to you, please read "The Story of Us", linked in 3 parts, posted on the left hand side of this page. (If they aren't all there when you read this, they will be soon.)

By the way, after writing this, I called Jesse at work and we both apologized for our argument not being a proper reflection of the love God calls us to have. And we worked out some possible solutions for the problem. Just remember, love covers a multitude of sins.
