big daddy

I have been married for six plus sweet but not easy months! I have loved everyday of this new life so far. Pat and I have done some pretty awesome things in these first six plus months ... we have gone to weddings, NYC, cooked a lot, become obsessed with netflix, joined the YMCA, etc. 

Fortunately in these past months Pat hasn't stopped making me laugh, he is a really funny guy! He still makes my heart go pitter patter and I am still very in love with him, even more everyday.  I have figured out that Pat loves me even when I am at my worst, so no matter how many buttons I push or how bratty I am he loves me big time. I get to feel God's love by him loving me really close to unconditionally, an almost perfect love. This draws me closer to God because I am pretty sure God is the only one that loves me more than Pat. 

My brattiness is a reflection of SIN and brokenness, unfortunately is has come out since we have been. My whole life I have been learning that comparison is the thief of joy, but recently I have decided to believe it and guess what? Its true and so freeing not to live that way! I have also become more confident in Christ in me and stopped believing lies. 

This past six months has been revolutionary! I have learned so much about me and about Pat and about us together and about God and His faithfulness. I have found that if I stop believing Satan's lies that I can be used by God!
