it’s almost eight am, and i’m enjoying my second successful morning staying awake after john has left for work. that is, second of 5 total mornings : ) 5:30 is early y’all!
i frequently shake my head in disbelief that this is life now, this is my life. like this morning – him with his work shirt on, embroidered name patch on the right side, leaving with his lunch packed and a kiss goodbye – us in this little apartment doing life as a unit. thank you Jesus! it is still so new.
okay, less gushing! but it is indeed a full, overflowing season, a time of fulfillment of so many of the Lord’s promises to me personally.
many people make it seem like marriage is the end goal of young life. you finally get married to that person you’ve been waiting for, and you settle into your house, your schedule, your pattern, until you reach the perfect equilibrium of comfort in life. and while there is plenty of that “settling into” for us already, and beautifully so, i find that marriage has been the most sling-shot-y launching point into vibrant life, the life abundant, to the full – spiritually, emotionally, everything-ally. we are babies in a life that i haven’t even scratched the surface imagining.
i have a desire to create and write that is insatiable. i’m so happy i get to go to sleep early and wake up early, and have time to take time in God’s presence, and creating. and breakfast : ) more of that, Lord!
i love may. everything is new.
