True Meanings

When Chuck and I started talking about marriage, I really became curious as to how the materialistic aspects came in to play...the dress, the ring, the shoes, etc. With most being tradition, the ring is obviously what I inquired about the most (what girl doesn't). I wanted to be able to completely appreciate it for more than just its sparkle and BEAUTY but it's true meaning. Though there is nothing in the bible that says a marriage is not a marriage without a ring, this is what the ring means to me:

My ring is a gift from my husband, to symbolize to the world, and to me, that there has been a profession of our love, a bonding of our 2 families to become one. My husband is taking possession not only of me and my child, but the support, provision, and care of us until death do us part. The ring embraces my left finger. The left finger is chosen because it is the only finger that has a vein running directly to your heart. Therefore, at every glance (and there have been many) I am reminded that as my ring embraces my finger, my husband embraces my heart.

Anxiety

Today is the day that we begin the Anderson blog, and WOW, what a day!! 

I have debated "blogging" for a while, especially since our recent transition into "marriagehood". I just never felt like I had the time considering the domesticated housewife that I am :)  

Today, however, is a major day in the lives of "The Andersons" so what better time for an introduction! 

The Hubs started the FINAL Series test (a test for investors / financial advisors) about 30 minutes ago, which could possibly mean BIG things for the income generation in our home. Though I am not the one actually taking the test, I feel like a College Student waiting on the results of my final graduation determination course. God has a way of really emphasizing the real life of the "two become one" we assert in wedding vows. 

It's a FOUR HOUR test so we both have a long afternoon of anticipation ahead. Good thing is, Hubby is being covered in prayers...and over the next few hours, everyone around me will need covering in prayers. Until I get the call, I'M WORTHLESS!!  

God,

Thank you for my husband. Thank you for allowing this opportunity for us. I pray that the decisions he makes are the decisions you've led him to make. Allow him a clear and peaceful mind. Place your hand on his heart so that he will be comforted. Help us be understanding of your will and remember you have a plan for our lives and our future. Thank you for blessing our family! Amen!
