We Are Like Sand

It's a little late for me, and I'm getting pretty tired. And by getting, I mean I am dog tired. 

My Beloved and I are learning so much, and I just wanted to type this out before I forget and can't remember tomorrow or the next day. Today is something I don't want to forget. 

I don't want to forget that my husband loves me enough to tell me he's sorry, or to tell me that I'm wrong. I don't want to forget that I sometimes unintentionally hurt people, and when that happens, I need to make amends. I don't want to forget that even though the love I have for my husband is a jealous love, he can and will spend time with other people, and I have to get over that. 

We are learning, oh we are learning so much. This first month or so of marriage has taught us that we have to make choices, and we have to learn boundaries, and we have to learn when to step back and when to step forward. It's an experience, that's for sure. But it's not one that I don't want to have. 

I signed up for this when I walked down that aisle, and God is teaching me so much about relationships and friendships and in laws and jealousy and how I might maybe sometimes overreact...

But I have this wonderful God who backs me up, and this wonderful husband that talks to me and calms me down and explains things and tells me what's what when it is what it is! 

I would not trade this last month in for anything. 

We are as sand by the ocean, constantly moving, constantly changing, constantly being made into something new.
