Wow. So I was just puttering around online tonight, (Shopping the IKEA website) when I realized I hadn't blogged in forever! More less even looked at my site or others. I love reading Erin's blog (erin.520life.org) that is one I frequent often and then girl with a satchel. Both really good for girly reads like recipes, fashion, family, life, etc :)
So...here is my random blog of what's going on with me, now as Mrs. Monica Deskins. :)
So I love married life by the way. Its great to know there is my best friend there with me to talk and share the thoughts of my heart with at each day's end. Its so fabulous to laugh together, enjoy the simple acts together, and grow together. My mom gave us this book "When sinners say I do" and its got some good thoughts about how we really get to see the good,bad, and ugly from one another. You are with that person so brutally honest and there is no where to run and hide when its rough. YOu deal with things, raw emotions, character flaws, bad habits, and still love one another at the end. My friend Lindsey has always been a great example to me of many things. She is an awesome mom of two and also a wife to a man she loves deeply. She gave me a hand-me-down book of hers "Sacred Marriage" and the author asks, "What if God made marriage to make us holy more than happy?" Food for thought. Marriage does challenge and stretch us. What I have noticed with my great seven months in.....is that, I see a true picture of who I am. Nathaniel gives me tough love. He calls me out. He challenges me to be a better person. He challenges me to be the person God called me to be. I love him for that. :)
