As of late, I have been feeling the push to be quiet and listen rather than spending so much of my energy trying to come up with what to write here. It seems fitting since I often find myself lacking the words to type or even say to compel how I truly feel or think. Maybe that is why I turned towards being a photographer rather than a writer? However, it seems that the two go hand in hand more often than not.
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.” Psalm 37:7
Clay and I are celebrating our 5th anniversary today and because photos are what I know best, I asked my good friend Abbey of Abbey Elaine Photography to come over to our (new) house and help us commemorate where we are in our lives right now. After being married for that amount of time, there is so much I could write but in an effort to listen to the call to be quiet, I will keep things simple.
After 5 years of marriage, I am thankful for your:
- Never-ending forgiveness towards me
- Driven nature to provide for our family
- Playful personality that always makes people laugh
- Willingness to try something new (we have chickens!)
- Faithful reminders when my mind is overloaded with questions
Marriage is never easy but so, so good and I am more than glad that we are in it together. Happy 5th anniversary, babe!!
