the S word

It's fun to dress alike.

Now here's a little glimpse into our newly-wedded minds:

I've learned that while naivete regarding marriage is totally natural and lovely, it's no excuse to deny yourselves the chance to learn and move towards a wise, marital foundation.

Jake has learned that God calls husbands to be leaders and he wants to take more initiative. This also means I need to let go of some control-ouch. We are on the search for practical ways to live in Biblical harmony.

Which brings me to the S word.

Submission.

I've got some creative ideas about how to deal/learn/create in response to this wifely journey.

And I'd like to end on a breathtaking note:

"When Jesus came near the place

where the road goes down the

Mount of Olives,

the whole crowd of disciples

began joyfully to praise God

in loud voices for all the

miracles they had seen:

'Blessed is the King who comes

in the name of the Lord!

Peace in heaven and

glory in the highest.'

Some of the Pharisees [religious leaders]

in the crowd said to Jesus, 'Teacher

rebuke your disciples.'

Jesus replied, 'I tell you,

if they keep quiet, the stones

will cry out."

Luke 19:37-40

wow.
