Psalm 40

I really like thinking about the life of David.

He was aware of his sin.

He was aware of his need for God to save him.

He was able to rest in the hopeful certainty that God would save him.

I hope to be more like David - not because he was a "great Bible hero" but because he knew who he was, and who God is.

Since being married, I have been eating vanilla yogurt with bananas almost every day.

Since being married, I have only been to Starbucks once (it was a drizzly day....and a 2 pump pumpkin spice/2 pump white chocolate mocha was SCREAMING my name) :) (oh...this does not include our wedding day and honeymoon weekend, where my husband got me Starbucks both Saturday AND Sunday!)

Since being married, I am realizing more and more that every decision I make now effects another human being more than ever before - which is incredibly scary/convicting/encouraging/exciting all at the same time.

Since being married, I have been solely responsible for eating half of the top tier of our wedding cake :)

Since being married, I have been shown more clearly and wonderfully than ever before, the patience and tenderness of the Lord, through my incredible husband.

Since being married, I have learned I love watching NCIS.

Since being married, I have made my husband his lunch every day for work, which is probably more lunches than I ever made for myself all throughout my childhood - and I love it.

Since being married, I have learned that a toaster oven is a fine substitute for a toaster.

Since being married, I have realized that one huge display of God's grace toward me, is the fact that He gave me a husband who is financially smart - student loans: watch out - we're gonna kick your butt! :)

Since being married, I am still me, but I think I will slowly become a better me by learning what it means to become an "us".

Hopefully more to come soon on the most beautiful/sacred/glorious/joyful day of my life so far :)
