What a CROSS! :)

 
I’ve been meaning to write about Devin’s fun and graced visit to Deming, and, now that it’s spring break, I have time. Yee haw for spring break!
 
So, I want to write about the cross in our courtship. But, in a good way! See, Devin and I have enjoyed such wonderful visits together, such grace-filled times of laughter and pillow-fights and plenty of eating (as you’ve seen from the photos Devin’s posted). Each time we visit, we marvel at the harmony between us. Is it supposed to be this easy?
 
Yes. Because, Christ so wills it. We know that we’re not responsible for this wonderful-ness–Jesus is.

Devin and I pray together every night, thanks to Devin’s initiative , and we invite Christ to place His holy cross between us, to sanctify every interaction, word, and thought and to unite us in His most Sacred Heart. I know that I’m so imperfect, the only way for me to grow closer to Devin, and be the girlfriend he deserves, is with the help of Jesus. It’s best if we “meet in the middle”, with the cross between us as the perfect mediator.
 
Apparently, Jesus is the best match-maker in the whole world.
