Today marks our 7th Valentine's Day together. It is amazing how much our love has changed us both. I never would have imagined that I was capable of becoming more like Stephen, or that Stephen was capable of becoming more like me. What an odd and beautiful transfer of strengths love can bring about. Years ago, Stephen was so passive - almost to a fault. Today, Stephen strongly stands up for things that directly affect us. He always looks out for us. Years ago, I had little self-control to use sharp and cutting words. Today, I have the ability to have a yielding tongue. Years ago, I thought I was as in love with my husband as I could ever be. Today, I realize how much my love multiplies for Stephen as the time passes. Years ago, I thought it was all about ME. I now realize it's all about GOD and US. Years ago, we thought we knew how our lives were going to go. Today, we realize we care more about God's plan for our life and our goals AS A COUPLE.

We are all capable of changing. Nothing irritates me more than someone telling me, "That's just who I am. I can't change." We are exactly who we have chosen to be. If you don't like something about yourself, or if you know that part of you needs altering - know that you are capable of a change of heart.
