A look back...A look to the future

Just over two years ago, I started this blog.  I just re-read my first post and spent some time reflecting on how much my life has changed in the past 24 months.  Two years ago, I was in a pretty difficult place in my life.  I wasn't working full-time and I was single.  I'd figured that many of the goals I'd hoped for in my life were simply not in God's plan for me.  I was trying to find contentment in what I believed was God's plan for my life.  Little did I know that what was really His plan for me could be so much better than anything I'd dreamed of when I was in my college years or early 20s.

You see, about eight months after I wrote my first blog post, I met a man whose life had recently taken turn he'd never imagined and he was trying to determine God's plan for his own life.  We both took a chance in meeting one another and what a wonderful blessing it has turned out to be.  On Thanksgiving 2014, this wonderful man asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, and I happily agreed.  You never know where life will take you and what amazing things God has planned for your life.

Stephen, thank you for unexpectedly coming into my life.  I love you with all my heart, and I can't wait to see all the adventures we'll take together.
