Marriage is a Commitment

My husband and I have been married for 2 years and 7 months.

I wouldn’t live this life with anyone else, because I know God affixed our soul-mated hearts.

I’ve noticed the naive notion, “A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper”. Ah, but tis’ a simpleton sample of scarcity in meaning.

Marriage is not just a piece of paper. It’s a spiritual document that binds two souls together. It’s commitment and dreams of two hearts that become one beat.

That piece of paper is charcoaled with the artistry of rocks that intensify the life-trail.

That piece of paper is also drawn with peaceful lulls between dips and waterfalls.

That certificate is also colored with coffee that steams with conversation of God and life. Souls sip as time sits. Then, both look upon wrinkled faces with loving eyed embraces.

The marriage certificate is strongly shaded with hardships, laughing bouts, passion, peace, cries, and a few shouts.

A marriage certificate is not just a piece of paper. It’s a document that is artistically bounded with promise and unconditional love. It is then protected with red wax that seals a pledge of a love-pact.

Princess Warrior

Everyone goes through trials and tribulations, even unbelievers. The Bible says, “He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Matthew 5:45. I’ve been through the ‘loss trial’. I lost my dad over 8 years ago and that feeling of hurt broke my ‘feeling bones’ and broke my heart. My heart is wounded and my soul is scarred. The journey of grief made me a stronger woman in the Lord. It was a long, tiresome path to regularity and a different happiness. My dad was the rock of our family, but we have to remember God is our true rock. He is our deliverer from pain and suffering. Dads on this vapor-like earth are for a moment in time. We have to remember God is our heavenly, everlasting Father. I have also felt the ‘abandonment tribulation’. No, my mom and dad didn’t leave me on a cold doorstep, but many people on t...

Pine Heart Roots

On a Friday afternoon, I packed the car and my mom and I drove down Sea Blue Lane. Our destination was Pine Prairie, Louisiana. Wheels rolled down blacktop while music notes rocked and rolled through the Malibu. We sped through Lafayette and entered “Country Land”. As I passed by horses, my eyes lit up with little girl joy, as usual. Cows grazed as clouds speckled their backs. The bayous were fading behind us as pine trees started to grow in their place. The scenery was refreshing, renewing our minds with fresh crawfish waters. We finally arrived at my cousin, Dana’s house and parked upon O’Banion territory. I needed to strip my bark of “stress needles” and regrow peace around my “pine heart”. I was feeling distant from my dad. Year after year, the roughness I once felt on his hand was smoothing. He is branded in my heart, but I needed that brand to be lit under fire ...

Don’t let others Negotiate your Marriage

My husband and I have been married for two blissful years. Within our years of matrimony, we are learning that outside sources can belittle your bliss. Those sources can also tense your bond, and cause your marriage braid to fray. Do NOT let that happen! Put up blockades and set boundaries to stop traffic of tension within your romantic realm. Outside sources that negotiate your marriage: Immediate family that negotiates the peace treaty within your marriage and causes chaos. Friends that cling to you or your spouse, negotiating unwanted attention. Activities or groups that negotiate the quality time spent with your spouse. Sinful acts that splutter red ink upon the sanctity of the marriage contract. Foreign frivolities can dampen the treaty of your marriage that you have negotiated with your husband or wife. Outside sources can wet the paper and tear at your hearts causing arguments. Do NOT let that happen! Distance yourself from family (but...
