“Oh Sweetie, with how much you’ve been through, God must have big plans for you.”
I can’t tell you how many times this was said to me. To be honest, I hated when people would tell me that. I had convinced myself that my future had been taken from me. How could God have anything bigger or better planned for me than the life I had, the family I had, the love I had?
Those people were all wrong. They were just trying to be polite and say something hopeful me.
Or so I thought…
Indeed, they were all right. Every single one of them. God did have something big planned for me.
One year ago today, part of God’s plan for me came to fruition and every single part of his plan was perfect.
One year ago today, I married the man that was a huge piece of God’s big plan for me, the one that all those people were talking about.
The man that so tenderly, patiently and gently opened my heart up to love again. The man that put a true smile back on my face. For quite some time my smile was fake, I was fake. My smile, my happiness, me saying I was ok. All lies because I didn’t believe I could have any of that back again.
I can truly say that one year ago today, God sealed the deal. He revealed to me that my future was not over, it had just begun.
Our perfect wedding day, our amazing life, our four healthy children are all parts of God’s big plan.
There really is no way I can put together the right words to fully describe not only the love that David and I share but the way in which we love each other. I have never experienced a love like this before.
It’s not that I love my husband on earth more or I feel that this life I am living right now is better.
It’s that I LOVE MORE and I AM BETTER.
Thank you, Lord, for never failing me. For keeping your promises and preparing a way to bring hope and a future back into my life when I doubted you and thought that was no way.
Happy Anniversary, David. Thank you for loving all of me so well!
