Simply Put

I have been spending lots of time lately on my hands and knees, and no - I don't mean that in any kinky way what so ever.

I am referring to my time with Jameson, my 10 month old, crawling all over the house and sitting on the floor together. He loves reading books together, and recently I have found myself growing tired of the books he has grown so fond of. In order to keep some sanity, I change up the way I read them each time. So as not to totally lose my mind.

Today as we read "Noah's Ark" for about the 100th time, I decided to try to come up with one word for each pay to describe what was happening through out the story.
Here is how it went:

Wicked.
Flood.
Build.
Remnant.
Waiting.
Hoping.
Faithful.
Good.
Promise.

I began to think on my story with Lance. Wondering what words might be used to describe this unfolding of our marriage. I could easily come up with a list that I did not want to use:

Nagging.
Disappointed.
Unfaithful.
Lacking.
Frustrated.
Lonely.
Angry.
Longing.
Escape.
Tired.
Long.
Cluttered.
Debt.

And the list could go on.

I wonder what my ideal list would be like?

Love.
Faithful.
Clean.
Enduring.
Satisfying.
Quenching.
Refreshed.
Stable.
Secure.
Comforting.
Respect.
Learning.
Delight.

I could think of even more there as well.

How do you think your husband would narrate your "simply put" marriage? Are you doing things to help create the marriage that you long to leave the story of?
