Though we are not really a blogger, we're hoping you'll be able to journey with us as we experience the ups and downs of living out a marriage. And a cross-cultural marriage at that. :)

Sheer Brilliance

I realize that I actually make a lot of decisions based on my emotions. G, however, does not. This is a brilliant design on God's part. Had G been just like me, we'd probably be proud owners of at least one house we don't really want. We saw a beautiful house today, dark hardwood floors, california shutters on every window (I didn't know what those were until today)...perfect living area and big kitchen. It was just stunning. However, like every Achilles has a heel, so may every house.

We were doing some research on where the house was exactly tonight after not entering into the bidding war, and saw that it was about 50m from a railway track. Now, that may not be that bad, OR it could mean bad resale value in the future. Not totally sure. (anyone out there with any experience with this??)

Anywho, the brilliance on my part is listening to my "very wise and more cautious than me when making very large purchases" fiance and trusting him even when my heart says to leap.
I'm learning that my emotions can be deceptive, and that two IS INDEED better than one. Insert cheesy pop song here.

Proverbs 11:2 says "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom."
I'm SO glad I'm marrying a humble and wise man. Thank you Lord.
