new season

Jacob took me to at Newport church Sunday night. He has made it his home church while he goes to Vanguard. He was excited to take me. It was a great evening service. The worship team was amazing and got everyone really into it. The people were so nice and friendly! Also, if you looked out the windows of the small church room, you would see Newport beach bay at night with shimmering lights reflecting off the shore. It was beautiful.

The pastor spoke about partnerships. Weather it be in work, school, or relationships. He had a few key things that people do that steer them away from the destiny God gives them in partnerships with others like yesterdays loyalties, other peoples opinions, and fear. It was a great message, and Jacob and I got to talk about it after out at the beach. He took me to Balboa and it was this awesome beach that they called the wedge where the waves crashed really hard on the shore line. Sometimes they crash so hard it shakes the ground. As we talked we both realized that this time apart from each other brought us closer to God. Jacob asked me if I thought God brought us together for our destiny and weather or not I could see ourselves marrying one another. Marriage isn't something i really think about, like most girls who have theres planned already. So to openly discuss marriage with Jacob and to hypothetically use him as my husband was...well, it was nice because I can see myself marrying Jacob. I can see a lot of things i would like in our future. The best part is he shares the same feelings as me. To hear him tell me He could see me as his wife is a great feeling. I think if any other boy were to tell me that i would probably run as far away from them as i could. But not Jacob. And he made an on going joke about how we should just drive to Vegas and hitched right then. We talked about how overall in our relationship we want to glorify God together, we want Christ as then center of our relationship, we don't want other peoples opinions we want Christ's opinion. We aren't worrying about our past relationship, because we don't need to and the way our relationship is right now is drastically different than it was then. We won't let fear hold us back, and we won't put our hope in each other, but in God. The night ended with him singing me a sweet country song. I had a great weekend with him. We got to enjoy each others company and it was great. I can't wait for him to come home. "And whatever you do, weather in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father through Him." Colossians 3:17

We both have and understand God's love, we want to share our own love the way God shares His with us. When i look as Jacob and see him living i see a man created in God's image. I see his faults and i see the wonderful things he is. I see God's creation.

This is our new season.
