Happy Thanksgiving to my wonderful readers. I hope you guys fill your tummies up with turkey and good food, and also thank God for everything He has blessed you with.
Allen and I have had some bumps in the road recently. We recently had our first fight which was hard for the both of us, but I want to use this opportunity to share God's word. With Allen and I, we are like two peas in a pod. God is at the center of our relationship which helps us grow, yet we still bump heads and make mistakes. This is common in every relationship, and this should not be something a couple should be ashamed of. God uses rough patches to show us that we are not perfect, and we still need Him despite when we think we have it all figured it out. When Allen and I have disputes, it is usually about if we are doing things right in God's eyes. Let me explain, whether we are putting him first, loving each other as God loves us, etc.
Today, we had another argument that led us in the end apologizing and realizing we need God more than ever to make this relationship grow. The way Allen and I are, it reminds me of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham and Sarah did everything together from traveling, causing trouble, and dreaming big. They were not perfect by far from Abraham letting his insecurities and lack of faith get the best of him as he told Sarah to lie about who she was. This relationship constantly reminds me that no matter your story, no one is perfect. Abraham and Sarah is a perfect example of how God can bless a marriage or relationship if you stick together and learn to fully trust Him.
Although, we have these bumps we know that we will never give up on each other no matter how hard it gets. We made a promise to each other and to God now until forever. I invite you to take some time to sit down and take some quality time with your husband or boyfriend, and ask each other these questions: Is God at the center of our relationship? Are we helping each other grow in our walk with the Lord? When we have arguments, do we learn from them and use it as a stepping stone instead of a barrier?
XOXO
