After 2 months...

Has it been this long?? Wow! We have officially been married 2 months :) We have cooked, napped, hiked, watched movies, walked to the grocery store, hung out at the laundry mat, prayed, danced, enjoyed Monrovia's street fair, bought our very own christmas tree... what a joy it is to build a life together with Erik.

I have been thinking about how to sum up the past 2 months... what sticks out in my mind the most? Then I read this for the first time since the wedding,

Ephesians 3:14-21

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

This is the verse Trav read at our wedding, our prayer for our marriage. We are literally watching these words come to life!! God's plan is ALWAYS sooo much better than ours. Together we continue to understand how deep HIS love is for us, and for you. Together we do more than we could ever imagine because He is at work within us. May He receive the glory.
