What God has Taught me during the Pandemic as Newlyweds

Jorel and Amy Gatuz 

Last year when we got engaged, we were very excited for what the coming year would bring. We had spent countless hours planning and investing in our dream wedding. But after many setbacks due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, God really gave us a chance to let go of our plans and put our trust in Him. In the end, He showed us that, as always, He is faithful and His plans are always greater. We will remember our small COVID wedding forever and what a story to tell friends! 

Now, in this new season, God has blessed us with an opportunity to begin our newly married journey with a lot of time spent together (due to lockdowns and working from home). Not many couples get to say they have spent almost every minute of the first year of marriage physically together. We’ve learned a lot about each other in this time and He’s definitely been teaching us how to love as He does. Praise God for His goodness even in these tough times!
