Christ alone, Cornerstone.

Take a gander at that song. It's probably one of my favorite songs of the moment. It was definitely something both Matthew and I needed to hear today.

Things have been difficult lately. There's been fights and hurt feelings, on both sides. I'm not sure why it's been happening, but I know it's going to turn around. I know that Matt and I can get through anything.. but it sure is hard. It also doesn't help that we have both been looking for jobs and it's been pretty discouraging, especially from my end. Life's kind of been a rollercoaster lately, and it's hard to keep up.

I'm so lucky that I have a God I can have a relationship with. Even though I'm a flawed sinner, He still loves me. He always has, and He always will. That fact alone has kept me going the last couple weeks. I've been getting frustrated with God lately, but this song totally turned that around. The chorus goes like this: "Christ alone, Cornerstone. Weak made strong, in the Savior's love. Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all." Perfect. Just what I needed. Just what Matthew needed. God always knows how to get the message across when He needs to.

God also answered some of our prayers today. Matthew got a full time job with Bass Pro today. It doesn't pay quite what we were hoping, but it's a guaranteed 40 hours every week. I also got a call today for an interview on Monday morning. I'm hoping this job can give me enough hours that I can quit where I'm at currently.

We were both getting discouraged because we couldn't find anything. But God opens the right doors at the exact right time. We needed good news today, badly. It was just the right amount of good news to tip the scale back where we needed it. So today, and everyday, I will thank God for provided for us every time. Now, more than ever, I am so excited to be baptized on Monday.

Matthew and I have dubbed tonight date night. After I get off from work, we're going out to dinner to just enjoy ourselves. It's been a while since we have had time to do this, and I'm really looking forward to it. I believe it will be good for us. We've both shown a lot of mercy towards each other, and I'm beyond thankful for it. I know that God put Matthew and I together for a reason. I can't imagine facing any of life's challenges with someone else. We are both striving to strengthen our faith and strengthen our relationship God. It's going to be a slow process, but it's happening and I couldn't be any more happy about it.

For those of you who are still looking for that special someone - keep praying. When it happens, it'll sweep you off your feet, in the best of ways. In the mean time, remember that Christ is your cornerstone and in Him alone you are whole.
