My Only Hope

He was nothing that I wanted yet everything God knew I needed.

A marriage should represent more than just a label. It should represent both spouses individually through their actions and by them representing a Christlike behavior. Behaving by His Word will reflect a Godly marriage and dissolve your pride so that you can love your spouse selflessly just as God loves us.


My role is an honor.

Being a wife to my gentle hearted husband, is one of the greatest honors I'll ever receive because God intended us to be together and we'll do everything with His power to keep it that way. One of the many beautiful things in any marriage is the covenant you make with God to become from two individuals to a complete whole with God as long as you both shall live. It's a promise that you will never let the other go through anything alone. Though, remember that no human being, husband or wife, marriage or friend can fix any problem in this life but with God all things are possible. With God, complete happiness is real and you can't look for it. He GIVES it to you but only if you let Him. You have to choose to put God first.


Church doesn't define your marriage, God does.

Danny and I have a beautiful marriage because we live it for God. His plan for us may be different than many but that doesn't bother us one bit. Where we grow, is in Gods church and by 'Gods church' I mean our hearts and in our marriage. Our home is the sanctuary. He is our number one mentor, provider, Father, comforter and best friend. Without Him we would never be where we are. Sure we're newlyweds and about a two years and a half months into the rest of our lives together. We aren't perfect and time doesn't always make you an expert. But we can't go wrong with God on our side and we'll always be firm believers in that. It's not about how many times you make it to church, it's about where you're being fed.


He was nothing that I wanted yet everything God knew I needed.

When I met Danny, my hubby-to-be, The Lord whispered in my heart that he was the one. Though I was young and believed I wanted something else, God knew what I needed and what would truly bring me happiness. Then God started using Danny to show me love like I've never seen before which eventually resulted into our dating l relationship. It transformed both of us. My husband is currently and will forever be the man I would have never dreamed of this man becoming my forever soul mate if I wouldn't have let him in by listening to God. Because of it our life is abundantly blessed because of our decision to put God first. Every decision we make has been prayed about, slept on and ran by God before the final word is said. Danny has been a leader since the beginning and I'll forever be grateful. My only hope and prayers go out to the young ladies today. I want them to know that only God has their best interest. Even when you think you know yourself best. He holds your true happiness, especially when you choose to put Him in control. Trying to figure things out isn't worth wasting your time on when God has all the answers. If you let Him make the calls now then your final outcome will turn out happier than the one you intended originally on your own. God will never forsake you because He loves you more than any man ever will. You can love countless people but God has someone special for you that will help you enrich the endless blessings He has to offer. And that man will only bring out the best in you.


A hint from me to you.

Now, a helpful tip from myself. If you have any of the slightest doubt about the person you are currently with... Then that's not Him. No matter the feelings or situation. You should be completely convinced by God in your relationship because that is how you'll know who is 'the one.' So get closer to our Lord and Saviour! That's the best relationship advice anyone will ever give you.

Patience and faith my loves. ❤️

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
