About 365 days of marriage

I started this blog in April of 2011. At the time, Bret and I were wedding photographers and it was a way to share how marriage is more about the day to day and so much more than the wedding day itself. For about 5 years, I blogged about the joys and sorrows of the Christian walk, marriage, work, family and friends. I’ve blogged every day since a few weeks after I started. In May of 2015, we photographed our last wedding. Now, I have become passionate about simplicity, particularly in marriage, Christianity, business, travel and life. For a number of reasons, we have become minimalists. I’ve found that having simplicity makes life so much deeper, refreshing and joyful. I hope that this blog will help others see the benefits of living simply.

Day 1510 – New Mercies, Every Morning

So this morning I was feeling a little down. I’m guessing it’s a combination of the weather, all the running around I’ve been doing and just life being life.

I was praying along the lines of “I’m desperate for you today. Give me energy to do the things I need to do…Help me to focus…give me joy.” I opened up my bible app and the daily verse was:

“I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.” Psalm 116:1-2

I am constantly blown away by the love and care God has for me. To meet me in such a request. To show me love in such small ways. The Creator of the universe, cares about me? What? Awesome.

Bret’s cousin is in town and wanted to see a few things nearby.

Our first stop was Seaside Heights, NJ.

We saw the Jersey Shore house…

After a walk on the boardwalk, we took off and went to Philly! Had an AMAZING cheesesteak too!

Now, you may be wondering how I can drive 7 hours in one day. Books on tape, coffee and cheese curls…obviously. 🙂
