Double tap if you've ever wanted to be on the Amazing Race!⁣ 📺⁣ US TOO! And we never thought we were up close and personal participants until we read the @youandmeforeverbook.⁣ 📖⁣ Lesson # 5: You Are In The Amazing Race⁣ 🚴⁣ "At a recent marriage retreat, Lisa talked about how she saw our marriage like a long episode of The Amazing Race. The reason we don't often fight is because we don't have time to fight. We are busy trying to get to the finish line. Even in our victories, we only have time for short celebrations because time is ticking.⁣ ⏰⁣ I was told by a marathon runner that you should try to run the second half of the race faster than the first. And once the finish line is in sight, many runners sprint. They use up every ounce of energy they have left because they know they can collapse once they break the tape. ⁣ 🙌⁣ I want to run my life in that same manner. In America, the norm is to do the opposite: do radical things for Christ when you are 18-25, then slow down once you are married. When you have children your service to Jesus slows to a crawl--you have your family to think about. ⁣ 👪⁣ But it doesn't have to be this way. We can run faster as the race goes on. In our final years, we can sprint, knowing that we can collapse into His arms."⁣ 💗⁣ Keep running sisters, faster and faster as time goes on. Jesus is so excited for you to finish this race towards Heaven.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #christiancreatives⁣ #projectblessed⁣ #spokenbride⁣ #bissisterhood⁣ #soulscriptssisterhood⁣ #femininegenius⁣ #catholiccreatives⁣ #precana⁣ #marriageprep⁣ #premarital⁣ #midwestweddingphotographer⁣ #indywedding⁣ #indybride⁣ #midwestbride⁣ #indianapolisweddingphotographer⁣ #carmelweddingphotographer⁣ #weddingdaymagazine⁣ #indyphotography⁣ #indianapolisphotographer⁣ #indianawedding⁣ #futurewifey⁣ #bridetobe2019⁣ #wedding2019⁣ #engaged2018⁣ #2019bride⁣ #2019bridetobe⁣ #couplesession⁣ #soontobebride⁣ #soontobemarried⁣ #soontobemrandmrs
Do you ever lose hope in Jesus and his promises for Heaven?⁣ 🙅⁣ It's okay, we are all human. Sometimes these scary thoughts enter my mind and I instantly feel guilty and ask the Lord to renew my faith. But after reading this next chapter from @youandmeforeverbook, I have a whole lotta hope in the Lord and what is to come in Heaven.⁣ 🌟⁣ Lesson # 4: There Is Hope For You And Me⁣ 😱⁣ "'I told you!! I told you it would be worth it!!! This is unbelieveable!!!!!!' I imagine shouting that one day when I see Lisa and the kids in Heaven. They will no longer be my wife and kids, but we will love each other more than ever. I pictured myself looking them in the eyes and saying, 'I told you He would come through! I knew He would be true to His promises. I knew that every sacrifice would be worth it. This is insane!! He is amazing!!!'⁣ 😍⁣ That is the perfect ending for me.That's what I consider to be happily ever after. ⁣ 👪⁣ So now I work backwards--what can I do today to ensure that my story ends that way? We should all make decisions based on hindsight. Picture yourself standing before God at the moment of your death, looking back at your time on earth. At that moment, what will you regret? What will you cherish? Now, what would your life be like if you made your decisions on that basis?"⁣ ❤️⁣ I hope this little snippet makes you smile as much as it does for me because yep, it's time to ask yourself these questions and pray with these words sisters, and be open to what Jesus might be trying to tell you.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #christiancreatives⁣ #projectblessed⁣ #spokenbride⁣ #bissisterhood⁣ #soulscriptssisterhood⁣ #femininegenius⁣ #catholiccreatives⁣ #precana⁣ #marriageprep⁣ #premarital⁣ #midwestweddingphotographer⁣ #indywedding⁣ #indybride⁣ #midwestbride⁣ #indianapolisweddingphotographer⁣ #carmelweddingphotographer⁣ #weddingdaymagazine⁣ #indyphotography⁣ #indianapolisphotographer⁣ #indianawedding⁣ #thedailywedding⁣ #cultivatewhatmatters⁣ #theknot⁣ #christianweddingphotographer⁣ #catholicweddingvendors⁣ #lovemidwestbride⁣ #sacramentofmarriage⁣ #indianabride⁣ #soulcreationsphotography⁣ #christianweddingphotographer
Double tap if you like being loved on by your fiancé! ⁣ 💏⁣ Lesson # 3: Pursue One Another As Christ Pursued You ⁣ 💕⁣ In case you didn't know, Jesus made marriage to be a reflection of his pursuit of the YOU and ME --⁣ 👫⁣ "God pursues human beings. This is seen throughout Scripture. We see God walking in the garden with Adam and Eve. We hear God speaking to Moses on a mountaintop. We find His mysterious presence in the tabernacle and the temple. ⁣ 💒⁣ When we come to the New Testament, we read about the birth of Jesus--Emmanuel, a title that literally means 'God with us.'-- and we see Him walking amongst His people. Later, he sends His Holy Spirit to actually live inside of His people, both as individuals and collectively as His church. Finally, the Bible describes the future, when Jesus marries His people and lives with them forever."⁣ 🙏⁣ This month, we challenge you to pursue one another and let Jesus' light shine through the testimony of your love! ⁣ with- @youandmeforeverbook⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #christiancreatives⁣ #projectblessed⁣ #spokenbride⁣ #bissisterhood⁣ #soulscriptssisterhood⁣ #femininegenius⁣ #catholiccreatives⁣ #precana⁣ #marriageprep⁣ #premarital⁣ #midwestweddingphotographer⁣ #indywedding⁣ #indybride⁣ #midwestbride⁣ #indianapolisweddingphotographer⁣ #carmelweddingphotographer⁣ #weddingdaymagazine⁣ #indyphotography⁣ #indianapolisphotographer⁣ #indianawedding⁣ #blessedisshe⁣ #shetheroar⁣ #christianbusinessowner⁣ #alwaysmore⁣ #unveiledwife⁣ #proverbs31ministries⁣ #womenonamission⁣ #biblegram⁣ #weareunveiled⁣ #walkingreflections
Double tap if you're actually not super excited to be in heaven... yet! Sometimes it's hard to even imagine what heaven might be like, but today we have decided it's time to dig into some truth with Francis Chan in You and Me Forever.⁣ 🙌⁣ Lesson # 2: Marriage Is Good But Heaven Is Great⁣ 🙏⁣ "This may come as a shock, but Jesus taught that marriages on earth don't carry over into Heaven. In Matthew 22, Jesus was asked about a hypothetical widow who continues to remarry. The religious leaders of the day were asking Jesus which husband this woman would be married to in Heaven. Jesus answered, 'in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.' ⁣ ⛅️⁣ Maybe Jesus' statement is hard for you to accept. (Hopefully you're not rejoicing...) For me, it's hard to imagine the day when Lisa and I will not longer be married, but two thoughts bring me comfort. ⁣ ☺️⁣ First this doesn't mean that Lisa and I won't be deeply in love with each other in Heaven. My guess is that I will be even closer to Lisa when we exist in glorified bodies absent of sin. Things must be different in order to be better. ⁣ 💑⁣ Second, I will have a union with God which is guaranteed to be better than any earthly closeness I might be experiencing now. I trust the God who created marriage when He promises a better future."⁣ 💘⁣ Today, we're praying your eyes start to focus more on Christ and his greater story for your marriage - as hard as it may be to fully understand!⁣ @youandmeforeverbook⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #midwestweddingphotographer⁣ #indywedding⁣ #indybride⁣ #midwestbride⁣ #indianapolisweddingphotographer⁣ #carmelweddingphotographer⁣ #weddingdaymagazine⁣ #indyphotography⁣ #indianapolisphotographer⁣ #indianawedding⁣ #christiancreatives⁣ #projectblessed⁣ #spokenbride⁣ #bissisterhood⁣ #soulscriptssisterhood⁣ #femininegenius⁣ #catholiccreatives⁣ #precana⁣ #marriageprep⁣ #premarital⁣ #blessedisshe⁣ #shetheroar⁣ #christianbusinessowner⁣ #alwaysmore⁣ #unveiledwife⁣ #proverbs31ministries⁣ #womenonamission⁣ #biblegram⁣ #weareunveiled⁣ #walkingreflections
