The day I became a Mrs.

Where do I even begin?

I want to share the miraculous story a year ago this very weekend (Memorial Day weekend) when I made a promise to God. A bold promise. And I felt He made a promise to me.
And then on Memorial Day morning, when I tearfully told a friend I was so done having holidays alone, she said to me with as firm a voice as anyone has ever spoken to me: "He is so close. Your husband is so close."

I want to tell the series of events that started on June 2 (the day after I promised to stop crying...remember?)...a series of miraculous events and decisions that changed the course of my life.

I want to talk about all the things I've learned about love and commitment and covenants and divorce and heartache and agency and God's omniscience and faith and works and hope and blessings and laws and obedience and consequences and promises.

I could fill up pages and pages.
But, I can't.

I can't possibly write it all and even if I could, I'm not sure that I would.
At least not right here.
At least not right now.


So I hope somehow the pictures tell the story that I cannot.
It's a miracle to me.
And I couldn't be more grateful.
And I couldn't be happier.

I am a Mrs.
I am his Mrs.
He is my Mr.
And oh how I love him.

Love, love, love, love. Every last minute of it.

And I understand the desire to pull back from the blog. But I hope you blog again. Or create a new blog. Your blog has always given me strength and encouragement. I can still benefit from those things :).

Also, congrats, congrats, and congrats again. He's one lucky Mr.

Laurel:

I am so happy for you I could shout it from rooftops. I know exactly where you have been and your story and experience gives me hope every day, that there may be a Mr. somewhere for me too. And until then, I am so grateful for dear, amazing friends who understand and can truly feel the loneliness, pain and void, and on this sweet blog expressed exactly what my heart so often feels.

I love you Laurel! You deserve every ounce of happiness in this world, and I know it is finally headed your way.
