RELATIONSHIP REFLECTION
I am so blessed to have married my high school sweetheart, my confidante, my best friend and accountability partner, Jason. We have dated for almost 11 years before we got married in 2007 and I have been enjoying being his wife more and more each day. Jason and I are as different as night and day but we complement each other. His strengths are my weaknesses and what he may have difficulty with I excel in. For me, our difference and having God in the center of our relationship helps us keep our relationship positive.
"And the Lord God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him" (Genesis 2:18 NKJV).

The other relationship I value is my relationship with my 3 year old son, Ynigo Miguel. He has taught me patience, humility and altruism. Caring for him and teaching him everyday seems to bring out the best in me. I just hope that Jason and I help bring up an individual who will love God and serve him all the days of his life.
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

People grow up in the context of relationships and the relationship that influenced who I am today the most is with my family. The King brood is known to be very close to each other, affectionate and fun. We truly enjoy each other's company and never run out of things to talk about. I am blessed to have grown up to a very loving family which I believe helped me maintain and sustain attachments and relationships with other people. I learned to love who I am because they loved me for who I am.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. (John 13:34)

A partnership is two-way street... both parties should be willing to extend a hand... maintaining a positive relationship/partnership takes real commitment and hard work but the benefits far outweigh the work entailed. Personally I believe that with God as the third person in a partnership the cord of three is stronger and tighter. And through these partnerships, I become a better person, a better wife and mother, a better daughter and sister and a better teacher.

Elizabeth,
You have such a beautiful family! I also love the scriptures that you implemented into your post! I really admire your desire to have a profound relationship with God. That is also a quality that I strive to possess as well. Thank you for sharing your pictures and the relationships that have molded you into the beautiful young lady you are today.
Elizabeth, I love your post and your family. I have 3 children and they are my reason for waking up every day.Keep up the good work raising your son next to your husband since he is very lucky to have parents like you, that have been together for so many years...
Your family is beautiful!!! Isn't love amazing? You and your husband look so happy and in love. If it wasn't for my husband I would be lost. I understand we need to know how to fend for ourselves but I am ok being dependent on my husband for the love and encouragement he provides me daily.
Reading your post made me think how wonderful it would be if every child belonged to a family like yours! Blessings to you and your beautiful family.
Elizabeth, you have such a beautiful family and you are truly blessed to have such wonderful people in your life. There is nothing more important than family members who are not only supportive, but also poeople you can count on and talk to no matter what. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story Elizabeth.
Elizabeth,
This was such a good way to end the day! Your family is beautiful. It warms my heart to hear how you are sharing your faith with your son!I pray that you all have many happy years together!
I really liked your photos. Reading posts is great but being able to put faces to what is posted helps you to better get to know someone. I completely agree that a partnership is a two way street. There are some people who don't understand that concept. They only think about themselves which makes friendships and partnerships impossible.
I am so happy we are in this section together. I love learning about you and your family. I also like how with each picture you added either a quote or bible verse. Thank you so much for sharing, and I can't wait to continue learning from you.
