It's hard to believe 2 years has come and gone since Daniel and I recited our own written vows on that sunny yet cold Saturday afternoon. We were blessed to celebrate our anniversary this past Tuesday (Feb 2nd) in Big Bear at Daniel's aunt & uncle's gorgeous cabin! It was so nice and such a blessing!.. But wow; 2 years...I still remember getting ready and having those butterflies before walking down the aisle like it was yesterday.
What a whirlwind. I feel like time has just flown by. It has most definitely been a learning experience for Daniel and I. But one well worth the lesson. And I know one not yet fully conquered.But it has been so exciting to be on this journey with my best friend. I can honestly 100% say that I am more in love with Daniel now then I've ever been before. Marriage has definitely had it's challenges, we truly do have to die to self and be a 'selfless spouse', yet our flesh constantly continues to get in the way. But it is so rewarding when you're in the state of being that selfless spouse. God pours out His blessings more then imaginable. I know it will always be a constant battle between flesh and spirit, but it is so worth the fight! I once heard a quote by author Gary Thomas and he said that he believed that "God didn't design marriage to make us happier;He designed it to make us holier." Let that sink in. What a neat quote! I mean with marriage, of course comes the happy times. But like I said before; we must die to self and love like Christ loves- which is something I need to be reminded of daily.
