Matthew and Jessica

In the program from our wedding I wrote...

"Our relationship began three years ago with a conversation about Broadway musicals. Now we see that God has been setting the stage all this time. So today we start this new scene in our lives - a scene perfectly scripted by Him, just for us...forever."

Every day together has been a great journey. Each day a new scene written by Him. It is so encouraging to know that even during "mid-scene conflicts", the playwright has penned our scenes and ultimately our finale together - for our marriage is a forever commitment. We need not worry about the future or how the act will unfold. The director has things under control....

Love is a shelter in a raging storm.
Love is a peace in a middle of a war.
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door.
No, love is not a fight, but is something worth fighting for.

This is something that I try to live by each day. Financial frustrations, miscommunications, futal arguments...we are a team and our marriage IS the thing we should be fighting for not against. We have been so blessed with loving families that are a constant encouragement. We may not be where we want to be with jobs and such, yet we are where God wants us and we will be content! I love Matthew so much and am continually learning how to be his wife, a godly wife. His love, patience, and desire to provide speak volumes that I cannot explain. The future looks to hold so many different things and so many exciting things. I can't wait for the curtain to open to begin a new scene with my leading man! :)
