I had this big post on Valentine's Day all planned, posted and perfect and as I was getting ready to shut off for the night I stumbled upon these photos. At first glance I absolutely hated them! Honestly, it was because our skin is acne ridden, noses look huge, our eyebrows are not photoshopped to perfection and I didn't like my double chin. But as I was staring at them for a few minutes I fell in love. I love them because they show our true selves. When Noah and I are with each other, we don't care what the other is wearing or if one of us has a a few too many zits... we are simply happy the other is present. We accept each other for who we are. Everything we are. We're totally weird and sometimes to open with one another, but over all crazy for each other. And we have this relationship because we don't waste the time picking out each others flaws, or changing ourselves so they might like us more. Love is accepting those flaws and finding a way to love each and everyone of them.
This picture also made me think of my favorite bible verse:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
1 Corinthians 13:4–8a
