While James and I were dating we wrote a lot of letters to each other. He was in Missouri for a while and then in Oklahoma, while I was in Texas. On our first date, after talking till midnight and enjoying getting to know each other, he asked me if we could correspond through letters. It’s something many of his family members had done while courting. Albeit here we are 270 days into our marriage and come July we will be writing and anticipating letters to be received. I think it’s kind of romantic and very personal to receive letters, especially a love letter. They take time and thought. I appreciate that my husband is a writer and initiates such things. These letters are what will make these next 12 or so months go by much faster. Plus I love stationary!!! 🙂
Life gives you obstacles …some you can plan for and others you cannot. There seems to be more times when you don’t have the option to plan. But there is a fire that arises inside a person when a trial, circumstance or even a joyous event occurs. These past 8 1/2 months of marriage have birthed some great memories. And no matter where the next year takes us or where the winds of change and circumstance blow–we know that there is a familiar place where You are and we can cling to You. Because no matter the obstacle, You–You are there. You are the great I Am.
Thank you for memories like THIS ONE.
