Why does he love me?

August 15, 2008 6 comments

Have you ever been tired of yourself? Ever thought, “If I could run away from me for a bit I would?” That’s how I felt the other day. Things weren’t going my way. I was bummed about a lot of things and anxious about things I couldn’t control. I’m a fairly positive person. My sister, Amanda says that I can always find the light at the end of the tunnel and find the reason why this can work out for the good, I’m the encourager. So what happens, when the encourager can’t encourage herself?

Well, then her amazing Fiancé’ steps in and tells her, “it’s all in God’s timing and plan, keep trusting, you can do this, you are smart, you are great, I love YOU!”

Words like that are powerful… and when I can be at my most stubborn moments, Rodney is so very understanding and patient with me, why does he love me, when I know I can be so difficult? I really don’t know… :) But what I do know, is I love him equally back. That when he’s down, I do everything that I can to encourage him and tell him how good he is and how through our sweet God’s strength, he can do anything.
I’m blessed. I know that… sometimes, you just need to be reminded.

Big Love,
Lauren

 

May I have this dance?

Have you ever noticed when a couple is dancing and their steps are completely perfect and the movement is flawless, just how gorgeous that dance is?

I’ve been learning that getting married is a lot like dancing…

One of my favorite TV shows is “So You Think You Can Dance”. Really, my sister and I will plan our week around making sure we can see this show. It’s awesome! Each week these contestants have about an 1 and a half of training on a new dance whether it be a hip-hop routine, salsa, tango, contemporary or a smooth waltz. They have to push themselves to strive for excellence when they’re tired, frustrated and maybe even scared to get out there and perform.

You’re learning together how to work as a couple, understand each others emotions, opinions, likes and dislikes. You’re learning the steps… you may step on each others toes, you will get frustrated and tired, and feel like this is never coming together, but when you recognize how well you work together and focus, really begin to understand each others movement, the steps start to come together gracefully, the dance moves start to flow together and soon smooth masterpiece will dance before your eyes, and you realize, this is the only one I want to dance all through life with.
