many waters cannot quench love

Since I am at the beginning of my journey with this blog I thought I would share with you the meaning of the blog address.
After Jesse's wedding ring got picked out, I thought to myself that it would be wonderful to put an inscription on the inside of his ring. I wanted it to be a secret too. After much consideration I decided to ask what was his favorite verse was. Actually I sort of already knew what it was and I knew that I didn't want to use it. So I looked up different verses and had this little spill ready to say about them. As I thought, his favorite verses weren't what I thought "romantic". So I launched into different verses and what they meant to me.
One such verse was Song Of Solomon 8:6-7.

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death: jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. (KJV)

I told him that it had been explained to me that no matter what happens true love will still be there. After a few more comments back and forth we ended the conversation.
So after the "planned" conversation I went to the jewelry store where we had boughten both rings and had them engrave "Sol 8:6-7". I thought that if I put SOS 8:6-7 that it would look more like we needed help.
I kept it a secret up until either the week or the day before the wedding. Then Jesse said "That's why you were talking about those verses".
As we were discussing what my blog address could be I mentioned a few ideas such as "Elephant collector" I love soccer" stuff like that. I noticed Holly's address and thought that I could do my life verse Ps 32:8 but then thought "Thou shalt guide me with thine eyes" sounded too much like hers. That is when I thought about Song of Solomon 8:6-7. So we looked up the verses and read them and ... well... the rest is history.
==============================
On a side note know for those of you who want to know:
Batteries are charging.
So beware, once Jesse can show me what to do with the camera and the computer then you will be seeing pictures of my little, adorable kittens and cats.

Have a good day.

My cats and kittens

One day one of Jesse co-workers asked him if our family is expanding. Jesse said "Yes as a matter of fact, we just adopted two little kittens." I am sure his co-worker wasn't expecting that kind of response but that is the truth.

Before we got married Jesse had two cats whose ages are about 4 years old. One cat, Sakura, was found on the engine of a car that had driven 40 minutes to a car shop. She was a little white powder of puff and Jesse couldn't resist her. She went out once she got a little bigger and "adopted" a kitten off the street. So then Jesse adopted Tomoyo.
Just recently we went to the animal shelter and adopted two adorable 4 month old kittens, Rascal and Itsuki.

As I watch all four cat/kittens (who if you are wondering are all spayed) in their daily activities I can not help but see how similar they all are but at the same time different. They have their own distinct personalities. Tomoyo is our shy one. Sakura is our "mama" cat, getting to big and old to play with the kittens but will get into the fun. Rascal is well, a rascal. You can depend on Rascal to do what you didn't think could be done. And last of all is Itsuki. She loves and trusts everyone she comes in contact with. From the beginning she would let me hold her like a little baby. If someone needs comfort - go to Itsuki.

Oh, and they, especially the kittens, remind me of little toddlers. They depend on us totally for food, water, care, love, and well practically everything.
Shouldn't this be a picture of us with our Lord? We should depend on Him for everything too.

Aren't husbands wonderful?

Here I have started this blog really not knowing much about blogs at all. Except reading and answering them of course. So I asked my husband Jesse to help out. If you notice to the right there is a link that shows where he works. Yep, University Technology Services Network Services. He got in there and fixed up the blog for me. He might even do other things for me too on here. Anyway I told him that I wanted to dedicate a post to him. So, Honey this post if for you.

I love you and thank you very, very VERY much.

Getting Started

Don't have much time as we need to leave for church soon. But this is to say that I have started a blog. Hope that I can keep it up.
More later.
