...The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain. trustworthy. She does him good and not evil. All the days of her life...So needless to say, I love my future hubby... That should be obvious, but seriously, I love him. God has taught us about agape love for Him. That deep unconditional, unshakable, unimaginable, forgiving love that God give us. God is love in its purest form, and when you have a partner in life who loves God, you have a partner who loves love. Marcus fears God and as a result yearns to stay in His will everyday of his life. As I have been sitting in planning to become Mrs. Brock, I had to sit back and think, really what is this love thing, what is marriage, and what does this mean in the eyes of the Lord? And these are the answers that I have developed...
Marriage is partnering with someone who is equally yoked with you. Who is working as one to achieve favor in God's eyes in do His will together, grow a family with children who too fear God yearn to serve Him all of their lives. That is powerful... what a HUGE undertaking... WE ARE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAINING UP LITTLE MINI BROCKS TO SERVE IN GODS ARMY... but that is further down the line... Which is why it is so important that our household is led by a man, who is led by Christ... How could I be anything but excited, safe, and ecstatic at the thought that my husband, my partner, my best friend is not only making decisions that he knows are on our best behalf, but that these decisions are reached by Him consulting with God... So basically, WE will always be in God's will if we follow Marcus' leadership! WOW! Now that is security... God has sent me the man of my dreams. Women always tremble when we hear the verse in the Bible that says that wives should submit to your husbands. Holy Hannah, I did too, but now I understand. This surrender, this submission is not one based on servantry or disrespect. This beautiful surrender is relinquishing yourself, your emotions, your worries, your individual agenda and presenting it to the man who is so synced up with God that you would never need to fear or worry. This submission is only describable to me as exhaling... I praise God everyday for His word and His blessings... I thank God for delivering me to a man that seeks Christ daily, that seeks His will and direction. Marcus' spirit, his love and his passion for Christ makes me want to continue to personify the characteristics of the Proverbs 31 woman. When Marcus takes my hand, my heart melts not only because he is handsome inside and out :), but because His other hand is in the hands of God and that feeling is indescribable. Thank you Lord for allowing me to surrender, for allowing me to just be, for giving me a partner willing and ready to serve. I know that my heart is hidden in Christ and that Marcus was seeking Christ and in his pursuit he found me! :)
