{ looking back on 7 years }

     Love, you are lovely

You have put the stars to shame

I have lost my senses and you're the one to blame

Bluer than the sky above, closer than my skin

Tonight our love begins

Now we are dancing

We spin like falling leaves

Hold me tighter darling

I never want to leave

As we move across the floor it starts to sink in

Tonight our love begins

You are mine beloved

I am yours to keep

Take my heart forever

You have captured me

God is singing over us, we hear it in the wind

Tonight our love begins

-J.J. Heller

This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.
C.S. Lewis

  Our anniversary came and went. (insert a nice long sigh of happiness here) And we had a lovely picnic among the lilacs, thanks to the housecleaning/babysitting/ angel/auntie that frequents our home.  Reminiscing over the last seven love-filled years, pouring over the scrapbook that I made for David that included blog posts...pictures...and our notes and cards to each other. We came came home with our heads in the clouds...uncertain how, because it's truly been although not always easy, that sweet...and with a  deep longing to top the last seven years, in the next seven. Our hearts cry, is that You Jesus would continue deepen our love and our marriage and that in our home and that we would daily bring You glory + delight.

  David gave me more of her music as a gift for our anniversary...and this song so perfectly describes what I feel for this man that I am so dearly in love with.
