"After all the words and all the ink and all the blank pages painted black with the adjectives of you, one thing is abundantly clear: Nothing I write will ever be enough to sum you up" - T.K. Gregson
It was exactly two weeks ago that Kevin had his heart attack. And it has been two precious weeks of staring at him while he sleeps, cherishing his breath that rises and falls softly on his pillow. Two weeks of being so blood-pumpingly aware of how he is my other half, amazed at all the little ways he makes me feel adored. Two sobering weeks of realizing how life would have looked so different without him, and two weeks of falling before the Lord in awe of his grace.
To be a partner with another human being is a marvelous gift. That God would dream up this inspiring delight of marriage, two humans coming together to love one another and be a gift to the world, is beautiful.
Praying today that God gives you perspective on your relationships. Grace, every glorious, ever tender, and abundantly loving, can pour and be the balm on whatever you are experiencing today.
Exodus 14:14
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still"
Oh my goodness I'm so glad he's ok. What a beautiful post.

ReplyDeleteIt can be equally painful and scary as it is beautiful to love someone that much. I am so glad you still have your other half.
ReplyDeletei'm really thankful you have each other + the Lord. God is good!
ReplyDelete<3 beautiful Katie. I can't imagine how scary it would have been. We are all happy to hear that Kevin is doing well, just the other day Raeca asked me if Heaven (aka Kevin) was still in the hospital. She's been calling him Heaven ever since we met you guys for supper.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. This is exactly what I needed to hear as I struggle with my relationship
ReplyDeleteso thankful for the gift of those moments you two have been given!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Katie. I can't imagine losing my husband or how scary that must have been for you coming close! Praise God for his grace and faithfulness!
ReplyDeletePraising the Lord alongside you, sister!
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful for the Lord's providence for you guys! Your story makes me more grateful for my husband and our life together, too.

ReplyDeletePraising the Lord alongside you for His healing! God is so good!
ReplyDeleteAs I have said many times in previous post, it must have been such an earth shattering moment for you and Kevin as well as everyone else he and you love. I'm just glad he is okay now, and it really is great seeing people appreciate life. :)

Loved this post, friend! The Lord is so so good. Over and over and over again, his mercy never fails!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love how you incorporated that line from T.K.Gregson! Fits perfectly ;)
Beautiful! I was just thanking the Lord for the precious gift of marriage this morning. I feel His love so much through my husbands love. Such joy!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! Many blessings to you both! God is good :)
ReplyDeleteSo grateful you are both healthy and happy! LOVE the quote and LOVE the verse sweet friend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo glad you two are well and demonstrating LOVE! I love your words on marriage. It is such a beautiful delight. : ) Blessings to you both!
ReplyDeleteOh, Katie, how incredibly scary. A loved one of mine has had a medical catastrophe in front of my eyes, and the fear that pierced me was acute. I can only begin to imagine how your husband's heart attack must've rattled you. I'm glad to hear he is recovering.
ReplyDeleteamen and amen. so thankful that God extended grace....what a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteOh girl, such a beautiful post. I'm so glad that Kevin is recovering.
ReplyDeleteI have that scripture posted in my kitchen! I'm grateful to follow how you are taking in God's plans for you and your husband - what you describe (watching him as he sleeps) reminds me of being a new mother; about how precious and fragile our lives truly are. We are but a mist...
