Each sign given from above is more of a reason to praise our God,

Nature in itself is too perfect to convince yourself that it just showed up that way without God sovereignly putting things together orderly until they were “good”

With our relationship I thank God for his signs and placing circumstances in both of our lives that have increased the faith we have in Jesus Christ,

Just like the spring time and harvest continues so does love

continually it is evident that with God all things are possible

…We love him because he first loved us…

And the love that He has showed us we have been blessed to show others

I’m learning that nothing in life happens by accident, but all things happen for a reason

Learn to pray to, Learn to trust in, Learn to obey, Learn to have faith in God.

Learn to look for, Learn to search, Learn to grow in, Learn to love God.

Jesus Christ, the perfect sign from above

He is our foundation and is the only reason to love and therefore live

I can’t help but be reminded of the story of Noah.

The Bible says that God found Noah righteous in a generation that was increasing in corruption, the wickedness of man was great and every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (Genesis 6:5). God was sorry he had made man and had sovereignly decided that he would destroy every living thing except Noah, his family, and all living things brought with him within the ark. After being commanded to build the ark, store every type of food eaten and bring all types of animals into the safety of the ark, Noah obeyed and was saved from the waters of the flood.

During that time, all flesh died that moved on the earth, all swarming creatures and all mankind (Genesis 7:21) He blotted out every living thing including creeping things and the birds of the air, and water prevailed 150 days (Genesis 7:23-24)

But God remembered Noah,

and all the beasts  and livestock with him, and God made a wind blow over the earth and the waters subsided (Genesis 8:1) On the seventh month on the seventeenth day the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountain were seen (Genesis 8:4-5)

After forty days Noah send a raven and it flew until the waters were dried upon the earth

Then he sent a dove,

To see if the waters had dried up from the ground, but finding no place to set her foot she returned to the ark (Genesis 8:9)

Seven days later she was sent out and brought back a freshly picked olive leaf,

Seven days after that she was sent out again but did not return,

(Peace)

When commanded by God to get out, he, his family and all things kept under the ark of safety were freed to multiply.

Noah built an altar to the Lord and sacrificed some of every clean animal and bird

And when the Lord smelt the aroma, the Lord said in his heart “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever strike down every living creature as I have done.

While the earth remains, seed-time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” Genesis 7: 20-22

(The Promise)

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him…I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth…I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth… When the bow is in the clouds, I will se it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” Genesis 9:8-16

Ryan and I were in search of a wedding blog and told by his sister, Amaryah to try wordpress. I’m content with the choice, and hopefully this could be our outlet to give updates through this season of our lives. The biggest challenge for me was finding something meaningful and beautiful to use as the backdrop for our page. I began looking online for beautiful pictures but nothing seemed to catch my eye and heart. Nature to me just captures the essence of an indescribable beauty so thats what i began searching for. I began looking for flowers then beach pictures, finally i thought, trees. And then a beautiful cherry blossom tree popped up and i fell in love. the only thing holding me back from being 100% sold was the pink color, i know i wanted the colors to be centered around white with hints of blue, so then i thought, what about a white blossom tree? I found it! At that moment i was fully engrossed in search of the perfect white blossom tree. Then i saw a bird beautifully perched in a tree in a picture that was taken during a time of devastation, so i thought of two beautiful ideas, peace and promise. From that moment my search couldn’t stop until i found a white blossom tree with a dove nestled in its branches. I didn’t know the rarity of this until it seemed impossible to find anywhere! I googled and googled and then found the picture above with two dove eggs during tree blossom, but wasn’t content until i found a real dove nesting in the tree.

And so that is how I decided that this was the perfect centerpiece and feature for our wedding-blog. 

It is the season of our lives where peace and promise was destined before time began by our Creater, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. And as our love blossoms into what God has designed for the both of our lives, Peace has come to fulfill that which was promised within our relationship.
