I think the only fear that I have in getting married is what if I'm not enough or what if I'm not prepared enough, because I'm the kind of person that likes to be prepared.

I think with relationships you have to risk getting hurt. You have to learn to almost know how to let your heart go when that time comes for that right person. You have to be open to having a friendship with somebody of the opposite sex. We can't let fear keep us from being open to relationships.

God does not want us to be living in the past, in shame, in fear, or in the future, in worry. He wants us to be living in the present, in now, with Him.

I just believe that marriage is a beautiful representation of God's love for us and that there is such a cherishing that can happen in marriage that is different from any other relationship.

Marriage to me means unity, it means strength because I believe that both people can be stronger in their calling because of each other.

When husband and wife are united, they are strongest and most attractive to those that don't know Jesus.

I cry out from the ashes, burned with sin and shame. I ask you Lord to make me whole again.
