Beautiful Struggles

Love is an absolutely crazy thing.  It is so much more than butterflies and fireworks.  It is learning what makes your little heartstrings sing! So what is it, what makes you feel most love? Are you one for physical touch? Do you like coming home to a secret surprise? Do you feel most loved when your person empties the dish washer? Are you completely content just being next to your person? Does your heart leap with joy when your person speaks highly of you?  I remember the first time I took the love language quiz, and truth be told I was not shocked by my results.

But The Lord had other plans, and if I have learned anything in the last couple of months, it is best to listen to him when he is talking.  See I am so very guilty of seeking the approval of the world , through my makeup that must be perfectly ...
