this journey

The path of my life during the past half year has been the best journey I have ever experienced.

That doesn't mean it hasn't caused the most intense struggle I have ever faced.

or more confusion than I knew was possible.

or more mixed feelings and emotions than I knew existed.

But it does mean that I am drawing closer to God than I ever have before.

and that I am discovering things about myself that I never knew before.

 and that I am learning and growing so much.

Letting go of precious dreams and plans, I cling to phrases like your world's not falling apart; it's falling into place.

Questioning the most confusing circumstances, I choose to believe words from God like this:

It's been hard.

(and that's an understatement.)

But it's been good.

(and that is an understatement.)

When I look back at where I was, and I stop to realize where I am, I'm amazed.

Having this man in my life is a huge blessing.
