Hopelessly in Love

Can I just say up front, I am absolutely head over heels in love right now! Yeah, I know it's Valentine's Day and so everyone expects you to talk about love, but this love goes way beyond just one day of the year.

I'm so in love with my husband...so in love that it almost hurts. It's been almost a year since we got married, but it's been the best year of my life. I love living life with my best friend! Sure, we have challenges. We see each other at our worst. Yet we choose to both apologize and to forgive. It's an amazing thing to know that someone sees all your faults yet still likes you and wants to be with you. What unbelievable, breath-taking love! I'm so proud to call him my husband!
 

And I'm also crazy in love with a tiny person who I haven't really met yet. I've only known him (or her) for 7 months, yet I already love him fiercely. His kicks inside my belly make me smile and take away my breath. His strength is sometimes startling, yet his smallness makes me so protective and caring. I love watching my husband feel the baby's movements, seeing the tender love in his eyes for his child. We are so excited to meet him or her in just 8 weeks (give or take a few)!



I'm so grateful that God has given us the emotion of love. Unfortunately, it's so misused in our world today. But true, godly love is such a beautiful, special thing. It's an incredible picture of the awe-inspiring, unconditional love that our Father has towards us, His precious kids. That overwhelming, fierce love that should sweep us off our feet and leave us breathless in the goodness of God. His love (unlike ours) knows no limits and has no end. I'm grateful that, no matter what happens, I can always rest in the love of God, for He is crazy in love with me!
