Just thinking....

Sometimes seeing God though others is the best way to learn more about who He is…
I feel like God sometimes. When I hold my dog, Bruiser I actually feel like the creator of the universe. I know this may seem weird to all you out there reading this but I can’t help but feel it. I start to understand how much God loves me, how much he protects me, how much He provides for me. If only I could react the same way my dog does to his owner with an undying, unconditional love.

Enzo and I were putting together a music selection recently for a wedding video we made for a couple and I ran across a song by Natalie Merchant. I have been a big fan of 10,000 Maniacs since I was in middle school and then it filtered into a love for Natalie. I found the song “My Beloved Wife”
I couldn’t help but think about how God loves us like a husband loves his wife. It doesn’t matter if you are married or single about whether God loves you like this. That is the best part. My favorite book in the bible is Ephesians. It reminds me every time I read it that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit (our engagement ring). This song is a musical display of how we are separate from God because of sin, but how He longs to be with us. We will all be married one day and hopefully by then Natalie Merchant’s lyrics won’t be sad about losing the “Beloved wife.” Instead it will be about a wedding day fit for a king.
Here are the lyrics (if you actually can listen to it grab a box of tissues) listen to it if you get a chance; it is better that way.




You were the love
for certain of my life
you were simply my beloved wife
I don't know for certain
how I'll live my life
now alone without my beloved wife
my beloved wife

I can't believe
I've lost the very best of me

you were the love
for certain of my life
you were simply my beloved wife
I don't know for certain
how I'll live my life
now alone without my beloved wife
my beloved wife

I can't believe
I've lost the very best of me

you were the love
for certain of my life
for 50 years simply my beloved wife
with another love I'll never lie again
it's you I can't deny
it's you I can't defy
a depth so deep
into my grief
without my beloved soul
I renounce my life
as my right
now alone without my beloved wife
my beloved wife

my beloved wife
my love is gone she suffered long
in hours of pain
my love is gone
now my suffering begins
my love is gone
would it be wrong if I should
surrender all the joy in my life
go with her tonight?

my love is gone she suffered long
in hours of pain
my love is gone
would it be wrong if I should
just turn my face away from the light
go with her tonight?
