Love. Wins.

The lines under her eyes tell a story…….

They speak of Weariness. 

Loss. 

Strength. 

A great War, Waged and Won.

The strength of his stance speaks of great Courage,

The shine in his eyes a testament of Hope.

A man who has faced his demons head on,

A man who has Victory.

These Pictures weave a story of a Love,

Shattered & Lost,

Found & Reclaimed,

Reborn & Renewed. 

These pictures may not shout of the tragedy, tears, broken hearts, or broken dreams……

Instead, they whisper…..

that in the rubble of a broken marriage,

In the mess and sorrow of it all,

Hope was born.

Just a glimmer at first.

  Too fragile to even move towards touching it, lest it be snuffed out……

But it grew.

It grew stronger and brighter until it was grasped with two hands,

Two hearts crying out for healing. 

Crying out for Wholeness.

Reaching for a Love, Deeper than ever before.

Brokeness made into Strength.

Tears turned into Courage.

Hope springing into Laughter

and Love,

The kind that goes down deep with its roots. 

For it has weathered a ferocious storm,

And strong it stands,

On Promises anew.

2 circles unbroken.

Promises of forever.

Whispers under the covers,

Water fights in the kitchen,

A hug at the end of a long day.

Freedom.

Fidelity.

And Hope.

Always Hope.

Even in the midst of utter Despair.

In the angry moments of WHY?

In the sad moments of quiet acceptance of a “Truth” I don’t want,

In the heart swelling moments of a Love

So deep…..

So great, that it brings tears to your eyes.

In the moments I forget to Forgive,

In the moments I don’t.

Hope is there,

Underneath it all.

Hope in Jesus.

In a new Creation….

In Brokeness made Whole.

For behold, He makes all things NEW.

  Happy 11th Anniversary {tomorrow} to the LOVE of my life……

I know we are weary.

I know the road to total healing is a long one. 

I know we are still working out the kinks of this new life of ours. 

 

But, never, ever forget, that…..

I. Choose. Us. 

Now,

Always,

I give you all of me….

From now until forever. 

Because Love Wins.

Do you hear that?
