Yea that's my life.
Today I was having this whole dialogue with one of the boys about all the things I'll do if I don't get married like practice medicine in another country and just basically become a nomad since I have no reason to stay in any particular place. To be honest....my favorite person to hang out with is myself. (Yea I know, sounds vain but I'm just that deeply introverted. Me is my favorite person.)
And so I was having this whole conversation and looking at the sunny side of being untethered to the dreams or desires of other people and then the Dash snapchat became a part of my day.
--> This is the part where Jesus was like "Remember how I know the number of hairs on your head? I also know the desires of your heart even if you do dress up the fairy tale like its what you really want!"
So I'm watching the Dash snapchat and
LIFE GOALS!
Why yes that is Erin and Ella Masar McLeod living up married life! Erin, the #1 goal keeper for the Canadian National Team, married Ella in July. They both play for the Houston Dash in the NWSL. I actually got to see them play in July but Erin got a laceration during the game and had to be subbed out. Normally players sign autographs after but obviously Ella left immediately to go find out about the wife.
At the WWC!
What I love about them is that their story is one that shows you what love is. In their story, love made room for Erin to be exactly what Ella needed and didn't know she needed.
LoveLoveLove
What Ella had been told about homosexuality all her life fell to the wayside as she continued to develop her relationship with God and came to know Him and what He stands for and what love really is for herself. She talks about how Erin pushes her to be a better person, on and off the pitch, just with her presence and taught her how to trust and be loyal. She freely admitted to having guilt about loving Erin and has stated that Erin thought she'd leave her after receiving backlash about the relationship. I love what Ella said to Erin though....
Ella said Love will always win.
Post nuptials in Canada
Though many came out and publicly spoke against her relationship, Ella was steadfast in her belief and her relationship. They are #relationshipgoals in real life.
Ella tapes her ring finger because she is so proud to be married to Erin. These are the real rings!
So yea.....I asked God recently is it possible that I could and will love another girl the way I love her and He showed me this on the snapchat today. I'd seen all the other pics I posted(because they're freaking adorable!) but that regular life cuddle? That was just them living today. I'd say God's answer is in the affirmative about love...wouldn't you?
