Life Right Now

Hello friends, I know its been a couple weeks, but a lot has happened. I have been working through some personal things and choices that I have made for a long time. I finally legally got married to Alex on the 15th of October. For years we have always just said we are married and that common law was enough for us, but really it wasn’t. We were still living in sin so we applied for our marriage license on a Friday and picked it up that Tuesday and on Wednesday evening with 19 of family and closest friends we tied the knot. It has been a long time coming. We have been together 12 long years. And let me tell you what. That alone was so very healing. Just walking into what the Lord actually wanted all along for us has been so good. I am not at all saying it will be all sunshine and rainbows because I know that it won’t be but it has started to heal things in me I thought were just going to forever be this way. I feel a safety that I have never known in another human. It has started to heal how I feel about myself. Insecurities. Thoughts. Just tons of things.

As if that wasn’t enough for the month. I got baptized on Sunday! It was such a great experience. There was 6 of us ladies from all walks of life but you could just feel the love between all of us. The excitement for what this means. Such a celebration in the church.

I am so grateful that we have such a loving God that he gave us the Holy Spirit to not only bring us comfort, but also correction, understanding, and grace. I deserve none of that, however, he lets me have it anyways. He loves me so much that He wants to be be better so I can serve him better. So I can fully fulfill what He has for me to do on this side of Heaven. I am blessed beyond anything that I deserve.

In Proverbs 4:1-2 it says, “My children, listen when your father corrects you. Pay attention and learn good judgment, for I am giving you good advice. Don’t turn away from my instructions.” I would say I am learning this in this season of my life, but also most often than not I actually almost fight him on most things before I give in and realize the he is doing it for me and the good. I think I can do things better on my own so I fight and fight and argue like a child until I finally give in then once on the other side I am like man if I just would have listened sooner things would have been so much better before now.

Have a wonderful week my friend! Stay in the Word and Spread the Good News!
