It seems like just yesterday I was crossing that stage, turning my tassel, and tossing my cap as I wondered bright-eyed where I would be in the next five years. It's hard to believe how fast time flies.
Since then, I have managed to make mistakes and grow from there. And after one heartache too many, God allowed me to find the one person that I am blessed to call my husband. The person that sees me just the way I am, totally transparent, and loves me despite my flaws. The person that has watched me change over the years from a naive little girl, into this. Watched me change into me.
Every night when I lay in bed, I end my day with a goodnight kiss. And, as I wake up each day (after the never-ending routine of hitting the snooze button), I am reminded of all the many blessings that are right at my toes.
Your minute hand never stops, and this gently reminds me that when things are not as I hoped for, that this too shall pass. Your sunlight shines always, unfailing. These beams provide each morning with a ray of hope. Your food nourishes me and gives me strength for each new day. You give me water that quenches my thirst and purifies me, inside-and-out. Your floors have felt my endless steps, the momentum at which I move. Your walls have heard my soft whispers, and protected me during even the worst of storms.
Now, as I sit in awe of Your mercy, I cannot help but thankYou for the life You have given me. Going on the six months, I have had the honour of calling the heart of Oklahoma my new work home. The train bellows through directly outside my window. I can see the skyscrapers as I walk down the bustling streets, and I am officially a regular at a local Greek cafe' just down the street. I am fortunate to be able to call my co-workers friends, and I can finally relax being myself at work.
I meet with couple after couple (after couple) day in, and day out. Sitting in a small office room, I hear problems that make my life sound like that of a queen. I am so blessed to have grown up with the parents I can call momma and daddy. And, I am blessed to have a second set of parents that raised the very man I love more than anything. Even so, I am so excited to be where I am today. I have three beautiful fur babies that are officially trained (and able to roam the house at their will all day long). I have an amazing husband that understands how important his acts of service are in my life. Every day I seem to realize more and more how undeserving I am of the little things I have.
God is so good to provide, and He knew the desires of my heart before there was even a beat. I cannot imagine what my life would be without Him. Thus, this is the time in my life to start. When writing my story, I am going to start trusting Him to take the pen. I will allow Him to provide for our financial burdens and emotional struggles. He will come through. Therefore, I am going to stop worrying about tomorrow and focus on today...right now. I am going to start appreciating where I am. So, Hello World! It is nice to meet you!
