I Choose You

I know I just posted lyrics to a song, but I just recently found this one and I am in love with it. I love the message, the lyrics, the music - everything. It is beautiful.

I Choose You - Sara Bareilles

Let the bough break, let it come down: Crash.

Let the sun fade out to a dark sky.

I can't say I'd even notice it was absent,

Cause I could live by the light in your eyes.

I unfold before you

What I've strung together

The very first words, of a life-long love letter.

Tell the world that we finally got it all right.

I choose you.

I will become yours and you will become mine.

I choose you.

I choose you.

There was a time when I would have believed them.

If they told me you could not come true,

just love's illusion.

But then you found me...

And everything changed!

And I believe in something again.

My whole heart,

is yours forever.

This is a beautiful start to a life-long love letter.

Tell the world that we finally got it all right.

I choose you.

I will become yours and you will become mine.

I choose you,

I choose you.

We are not perfect,

 we'll learn from our mistakes,

and as long as it takes I will prove me love to you.

I am not scared of the elements.

I'm under prepared, but I am willing.

And even better....

I get to be the other half of you.

Tell the world that we finally got it all right!

I choose you.

I will become yours and you will become mine.

I choose you.

I choose you

I choose......

you.

I think this song is so beautiful and it tells a lovely story about a girl who is ready and willing to give everything she has and everything she knows to the one she loves. She wants to shout it to the world.  She finally got it right this time! 

I love the line where it says, "Even better... I get to be the other half of you." It makes me smile. She feels so lucky to be spending forever with the one she loves and can't wait to be their other half. She'll knows she can get through anything because they will be together. 

This song helps me realize how lucky and blessed I am to have married the man that I married. He is wonderful. I can't even explain how it feels to love someone so deeply. I am glad I am his other half. 

Anyways! This is my new song obsession.

 

I choose you!

Then..

This song keeps playing over and over in my mind. I love it!

I remember trying not to stare

The night that I first met you

You had me mezmorized

And three weeks later

In the front porch light

Taking 45 minutes to kiss goodnight

I hadn't told you yet

I thought I loved you then

Now you're my whole life

Now you're my whole world

I just can't believe

The way I feel about you girl

Like a river meets the sea

Stronger than its ever been

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then

I remember taking you back

To right where I first met you

You were so surprised

There were people around

But I didn't care

I got down on one knee right there

And once again

I thought I loved you then

Now you're my whole life

Now you're my whole world

I just can't believe

The way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea

Stronger than its ever been

We've come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then

And I thought I love you then....

I had no clue I could love J more today than I did the day we got married! It is incredible!

Spiritually Edified...

I wanted to do this as soon as I got home from church....but I didn't of course.

It was fast Sunday so I was distracted by my hunger pains.

Not to mention, my husband wanted to watch these new movies we got.

One was called, "Only a Stonecutter" and the other was called "Treasure in Heaven".
If you haven't seen either of these I highly recommend them!
Anyways....
Today at church I was spiritually uplifted and edified in a way that I haven't been for awhile.
It was incredible. The Spirit was so strong throughout the entire block of meetings.
I was constantly covered in chills.
The lessons, testimonies, and thoughts that were shared were ones that resonated deep in my heart. I could feel the power and strength from the people in my ward. I admire all the women in my ward so much. They are such examples to me of what it takes to be a dedicated wife and mother even when life throws you cure balls. I was touched in my heart and it is something that I will remember forever.
I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
I am who I am because of what the gospel has taught me.
I am able to be happy through trials because I know that there is a plan for me.

We are just one piece of the giant puzzle that God has created for his children. We are never forgotten because without us the puzzle will never be completed. Isn't is incredible to be a part of something bigger than this world? It is inspiring to me.

Keep an eternal perspective in all things and it will help you to maintain happiness and keep you grounded.
The church is true. I know that without a doubt!
I am grateful for the all blessings that my Heavenly Father has given to me.
Especially for the man he sent to me to be sealed to.
I can't imagine life without him.
Heavenly Father knows what he is doing!
