1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is Patient.

I've been told that if you can replace "love" with the name of your spouse and it be true, they are the one.

"Micah is patient, Micah is kind. He does not envy, he does not boast, he is not proud. He does not dishonor others, he is not self-seeking, he is not easily angered, he keeps no record of wrongdoings. Micah does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. He protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

And on April 23, 2018, Micah further proved that to me while I was in the middle of tears, his kind heart said, "No, were not going to do this and go back and forth. Let me help you work through this. Let's talk it all out." And that's when I realized I wasn't alone like I'd been feeling and nothing could defeat me. I am blessed that I get to love and be loved by my husband. Unconditional love exists. It is exactly what I mentioned above in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Micah lives it every day, even when I am at my worst, he loves me even harder. He has helped me work towards being a better woman, a better wife, a better mom, a better human, and a better servant. Every day we are graced with another day of life and I want to use each day to better our marriage and use our marriage as a message to help others who desire this bond we are lucky to hold. We aren't perfect by any means, but we work at our marriage every day, as best as we can under all of the circumstances the Navy and life throws at us. That is what it is all about. Two imperfect people, striving to better themselves for themselves, for each other, and show unconditional love.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
