Love is...

As soon as we got engaged and started planning our wedding, I knew that I wanted the music at the ceremony to be more than just pretty.

I wanted it to be meaningful, to serve a purpose, and something that our guests would not forget.

There were automatically two songs that I knew had to be incorporated some way, some how.

My good friend, Jamey, from the good old homeschool days, and soccer, etc can sing like no other.

I knew he would be the perfect one to perform these two songs for us.

Right before the ceremony started, Jamey played a medley of these two songs with his acoustic guitar.

It was amazing! 

{Honestly my favorite thing about our whole ceremony}

I want to share these songs {most importantly the lyrics} with you today.

Love Never Fails - Brandon Heath

Love is not proud
Love does not boast
Love after all
Matters the most
Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep locked inside
Love is the river that flows through
Love never fails you
Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease at the end of time
Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes when you don't
Love is the arms that are holding you

Love never fails you


When my heart won't make a sound
When I can't turn back around
When the sky is falling down
Nothing is greater than this
Greater than this


Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way, the truth, the life
Love is the river than flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you

Love is Not A Fight - Warren Barfield

Love is not a place

To come and go as we please

It's a house we enter in

Then commit to never leave

So lock the door behind you

Throw away the key

We'll work it out together

Let it bring us to our knees

Love is a shelter in a raging storm

Love is peace in the middle of a war

And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door

No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

To some, love is a word

That they can fall into

But when they're falling out

Keeping that word is hard to do

Love is a shelter in a raging storm

Love is peace in the middle of a war

And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door

No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

Love will come to save us

If we'll only call

He will ask nothing from us

But demand we give our all

Love is a shelter in a raging storm

Love is peace in the middle of a war

And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door

No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

I will fight for you

Would you fight for me?

It's worth fighting for

These words could not be more scripturally based.

I literally pray these words sometime.

I can't imagine a marriage without Christ as the center.

This Valentine's Day some people may be fighting to keep their love alive, while others are starting new relationships.

I hope that we will remember these lyrics and bible verses.

{Valentine's Day is our 6 year Relationship-Anniversary} 

Prepare you Heart for Christ

He will prepare it to love your spouse.

{or future spouse}
