Milestones

Yesterday marked our 6 month anniversary. I never thought I would be one to celebrate something like that, but after the last 6 months it seems fitting to stop and celebrate all that we have been given and had the privilege of walking through together.

I was quite nervous about the evening meeting that I asked you all to pray for. Though, I knew God was there and would ultimately care for me in the process it was still a step of faith for me to trust him and the process. We had planned to go out to dinner after the meeting, which did a lot to help me....picturing eating chips and guacamole always helps the phsyche.

We went into this meeting smiling at each other and confident, unsure of what was ahead, but sure that we were together. The meeting was about an hour and full of so much. I walked in and out as transparent, honest and humble as I knew how to be. I can't say it was my most favorite thing I ever did, but the outcomes that we can see for me made it worth it. I am so thankful for my husband and how he stood with me and next to me as comments and perspectives were shared. I am thankful for friends who know me and thankful that we have a future that is ours to create. God has gifted us both and we know that He has things that He sees us doing and being. This has a been a hard two months and this meeting was a milestone of sorts for me. It ended a season that I am glad to see end. It opened up a new season that is full of hope and joy and exciting unknown. For all involved the meeting was a bit draining, but as best as we could we heard, respected and were able to leave in peace.

We are excited to see what the church we went to on Sunday has for us, and I was once again reminded that people are human and it's okay that I am not perfect and okay that others aren't perfect. I look forward to seeing how God uses this situation and feel thankful that He has spoke to me through this entire process.

While I had to laugh a bit of the irony of having an intense meeting on our 6 month anniversary, I also smiled at all that has seemed to bring us closer together, create an even more solid foundation and full of hope and confidence in the marriage we are so privileged to be apart of.

Milestones are always different, but I don't want to miss the moment to stop and recognize the milestones that we have seen in our last 6 months and celebrate the good that came from last night. In the end I saw God, saw a husband who loves me, and saw the growth that God has done and is doing in me. All in all a very successful and joyful night.
