I Got Saved...Again: A Note on Commitment

Tonight I got saved...again.
 I realized it was time to renew my vows with Jesus, if you will. I've been saved since I was 14, as I've mentioned in my ABOUT ME section. But it's been so long since I totally wiped the slate clean and got a fresh start. And every relationship needs that. Desperately needs it. Think about a couple who has been married for 50 years, and still appear to be hopelessly in love with each other. How do you think they achieved 50 years of good marriage? By constantly renewing their vows, that's how. No, not in a formal ceremony, but every day, growing and changing with each other and reaffirming their love and commitment.
I found some traditional wedding vows online and I wanted to see how it would fit if I made it about Jesus and me. 
“I, Tiarra, take you, Jesus, to be my wedded husband Lord and Savior, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love, to have and to hold from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends (and blog readers), I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner servant in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live--forever and ever!”
Not a perfect fit, but you get the idea. Renewing your commitment to the one you love.

That's what me and Jesus did tonight.

And it feels sooo good to be in love all over again.

I love me some Him. =)
