He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me
Oh, how He loves us so
How he loves us
How He loves us so
I've had some good time to think on my days off. It's been a good month for that. Lots of contemplation. I thrive on contemplation.
Brian and I have settled into a comfortable rhythm of marriage. I am content. It's a really special season in life, I think. The things we learn about each other continue to increase at an astounding rate. I can only imagine what it's like after many years of marriage. It's such a gift. The little things are special too. Shared Sunday afternoon coffee on the couch, I knit and he studies. Oatmeal in the mornings. The funny stuff and disagreements. Proud to say that we made it through a grocery shopping trip yesterday without bickering at all. The tortilla chips and salsa were the closest bone of contention, but still, we escaped unscathed. Waking up next to each other, the fabled event I always dreamed of, is just really nice. Sure, sometimes I am grumpy and he is a bear and the alarm is obnoxious. But most of the time, its just contentment. Sometimes I take a step back and marvel at all this. Almost 3 years ago now, I met these intriguing redhead 3 days after I moved to BC. Now he shares my house, my bed, my heart, my life. Our life. As long as we both shall walk together on this earth.
Have been learning a lot about faith too. Being part of a very small on-campus church has its challenges, but it is helping us both to grow. A women's small group is on the horizon (meeting to talk about it tonight-yaaaay for materializing of dreams), a kids ministry is just starting up, and we are forming lasting relationships with people there. I am thankful.
Making pea soup. Dutch Shop style. Went on a run around the Battery. It's a couple of windy roads right on the edge of the harbour, with quirky cute little precarious houses. Newfoundland, I'm still getting to know you more and more. And I like it.
How He loves us.
