Love

I know I promised more blog posts...but it's been so nice not having to be on my computer 24/7 either due to work or homework that I have been enjoying my computer free break (except for pinterest, but that's necessary for everyday life right? Otherwise I wouldn't know what to wear, or make for dinner, or say during emotionally hard times *love the quotes*)

It seems strange that Christmas is just a few short days. Where did the year go? I mean, it's been a great year, it just went by way too fast.

I went through some hard times so I stopped writing in my blog because I didn't want people to know that my obviously perfect life was not so perfect. Which is silly because everyone has imperfect moments in their life and mine are nothing to be embarassed about.

I love Joel and his patience for me. I love that his love for me is not contingent upon my love for him. He's helping me become the me that I am supposed to be. A better person than I could hope for and a far kinder person than I currently am.

I'm learning who to turn to for counsel and strength. My perfect example. Christ's healing is truly all encompassing and I am so grateful that His love is more than enough, especially when my own is not.

I love my family and although we go through trials, just like all other families, these trials are making us a refined, celestial family. I've learned that there can be no charity, love or even mutual respect, without sacrifice.
