Well, I haven't really posted anything of my new life. Part of the reason for that is because while so much remains the same change is swirling around me. Some of the time I have to get outside of myself and look at me. I guess it could be considered checking myself but, more than that it is about checking into reality. I say this because just a little over two years ago things were drastically different in my life. What a difference a little time makes!
January 29th, 2011, my life was never to be the same. This complete and perfect stranger sent me a message on my Facebook page; I know creepy right?!?! I read the message, and thank God for the gift of discernment, and I believed this person. Eventually he asked me out on a date, my stomach was in a knot. I was beyond nervous for several reasons: 1) I did not know this dude, 2) I did not know anyone that knew this dude, 3) he had younger kids 4) he was younger than me, 5) he had long dreadlocks, 6) I had no idea of how tall, or short he was, etc.... There was a myriad of reasons for me to say no but one big one to say yes. I prayed and prayed for this man and God has His own plan so he was not in the package I previously preferred. He was however, very kind and thoughtful. The first time I saw him in person I relaxed and in my heart I knew he belonged to me. He was everything I never wanted but always needed.
We had non stop communication. The first time he told me he was in love with me I felt God's complete blessing in my life. He doesn't know but I shed a few tears because we were having a texting conversation because he was working. My heart could finally exhale. This man was the love of my life. Fast forward about a year and half and that man would become my fiancé. The engagement was short and on Dec. 22nd 2012, I married the love of my life.
Then Jan. 22nd,2013, we found out that we were not going to just have four kids but by the end of the year we will have number five. The excitement is palpable. So while the place we live and love hasn't changed. He takes good care of me and I take good care of him. My feelings for him have definitely multiplied and will continue to increase as we take this journey towards having and nurturing our next addition.
