Sorry that it's been a while since I've updated. This is either going to be a lengthy post or in multiple parts :)
The weekend of April 2nd, we closed on our house (yAy!), got Eric mostly moved in, had our first of four wedding showers (got some really nice stuff and had a great time), went to a Ranger's game (opening weekend, they won woohoo), and had lots of fun with family, friends, and got to spend lots of time with each other. I didn't want to go home so I ended up staying an extra day. It was awesome :D
The next weekend, we had our 2nd shower with my mom's church (very nice and again lots of nice stuff and fun)
The next weekend (last weekend), Eric was here, we had our 3rd shower at my church (repeat last info from previous two showers) and we also got our wedding rings :D They are awesome!
This weekend (Easter), we didn't get to be together which was sad but I'm looking forward to getting to go there Thursday :D

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I've heard this saying before but I've never really put much thought in to it. This week, I was doing my Bible study and the topic came up about beauty and how God sees each one of us as beautiful so when I'm holding myself to a standard of beauty, I should see my creator as the beholder, not myself, or others.

This song has really spoken to me lately. Take a minute if you would to listen to the words.
We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us
When darkness seems towin
We know the pain reminds thisheart
That this is not, this is not our home,
It's not our home
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to
We know the pain reminds this
That this is not, this is not our home,
It's not our home
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise
