Forever love

"So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." ~Ephesians 3:17-19   I was reading in my bible tonight and came across this verse in Ephesians.  It's like a love letter isn't it?  Doesn't that just describe a perfect and forever love? My prayer tonight is that you know this love.  If your still searching for it just know He will NEVER turn His back on you.  He wants more than anything for you to know this perfect and forever love.     He has shown me this forever love so many times...
I can feel it every time I look at Daniel.
When I hear Briley tell me she loves me.
When I think of holding Hadley the night she was born.   When I look at the beautiful sonogram of our 3rd sweet girl.   I don't feel worthy of this love, but I'm SO thankful for it.  
I can't fully grasp how wide, long, high, and deep this forever love is.  But God gives us little glimpses all the time.  If your struggling with believing in His love I urge you to think about it the next time you feel pure happiness or incredible pain.     In this fallen, broken, and changing world His perfect and forever love never leaves us.   I can't think of receiving a better love letter than that on this Valentine's Day.   My glimpses of His love...

 

My heart will fully grasp this love when I am forever in His presence.  

I long for the day...

Love,

Melissa

Lots of Love...

Updating the blog has been put on the back burner lately and I realized it was time to catch up!!

A couple weekends ago Briley and Daniel went on their 2nd Daddy/Daughter date night for Valentine's Day.  You can read about their first one here.  I got Briley all dressed up for her Daddy and she was LOVING her tutu!!

Isn't their souvenir so cute?  I love having a husband that wants to already show his daughter how she should be treated and loved by a man.  She is a lucky little girl!!

The weekend before Valentine's Day my sweet husband surprised me with my very own date night :)  He took me to my favorite mexican restaurant downtown and he even suffered through the latest chick flick, "The Vow"!  He made my early Valentine's Day perfect!!

Our Valentine's Day was jam packed with a school party, sock hop, lots of fun gifts, yummy desserts, dinner with family, and visiting Nonnie and Hadley!!

Do you like the blog makeover?  I did it myself and I'm pretty proud of it :)  The colors remind me of Hadley and spring time.

In Christ's Love,
