Sweet Memories.

Wow, it's been almost a year since I blogged! I wanted to share about our night last night. I don't blog much because I like to keep most of my journaling private these days, but I just had to share this today. Last night we were sitting in our office/spare bedroom that will soon be a nursery trying to decide how we would arrange everything. We have two bookshelves filled with books so I told Chad to start going through them to make piles of the books he doesn't want anymore. I was working on one shelf and him on another. Every 5 books or so he'd find one he had to share with me. So he'd sit down (which was driving me crazy because I wanted him to hurry up) and begin reading to me in Spanish mostly which I had no idea what he was saying haha. Anyway, I kept sorting on my shelf and came across our journals we kept while Chad was in Mexico. I started to read a few of my entries which turned into reading all of them. Then Chad began to read his to me. It was so awesome to see how God has brought us to where we are today, 2 1/2 years later. God worked on our hearts so much during that time and it was such a blessing for our relationship. It was fun to remember the newness of our relationship as Chad and I were only dating for 3 months when he went to Mexico. We were so head over heels for each other and couldn't wait to get married and have children... And now look at us :) There was a poem in Chad's that he wrote just days before he was returning home and by this time I was reading because Chad was getting sleepy. I couldn't even finish reading because I started to cry. (And he began laughing at me right away haha) That time was so special. I am so blessed by him and his love for Christ and his people. He truly leads me and teaches me how to live like Christ. I am so glad I waited for him. God brought us both through trials on our way to each other, but he knew exactly what he was doing... for ALL that was involved. I am so thankful for them! How amazing is he? I really can't comprehend it. Thank you Lord! Jenny<3
