"He Chooses Me" and a whole lot of other good stuff!

We retreated up to the mountain this weekend for a moment to be together, celebrate our relationship, and tune ourselves back into God's melody.

I've been finding myself feeling so numb and going through the daily motions, and I wanted a quiet moment with Jon.  The rain clouds were rolling in, so our plans to kayak and picnic were cut short to a hike up into Forest Falls and a picnic in the trees.  It was actually quite magnificent.  

There are a lot of things in this life I have to be grateful for, Jon being my biggest "thanks".  That man has stood by my side through some of the craziest, immature, and down right wrong decisions I have ever made, and he has pushed me to correct them, forgive them, and learn from them.  He is someone I'm safe with.  Someone who seeks to protect me.  Love me.  Cherish me.  And be with me till our days here on earth are over.  

And in a world where everything tries to tear our deep love and trust apart, he chooses me each time. 

I can't help but get excited about where we get to go in our lives together, what we'll get to do, and who we'll get to serve along the way.  Because with Jon at my side, I'm one heck of a lucky woman!
