So today marked a very big day for my family and I. It was a huge accomplishment. One that I had doubted we would ever make. My husband told me on the phone “I couldn’t have done it without you.” That made my heart melt.
When we first started on the journey 14 months ago I was afraid. Afraid of how we were going to make it financially, and of the sacrifice the entire family was going to have to make in order to accomplish this goal.
But we did it. We did it because we felt like God had opened that door. Given it was certainly a mountain we had to climb, and I didn’t really know WHY God had opened that door. But the more we move forward, I’m beginning to see more and more of the WHY.
The theme that is really just playing in my mind and my LIFE right now – don’t give up. I have seen Christ’s strength in my life so much these past 14 months – probably the MOST I have ever witnessed in my entire life or my entire walk with Him. We have had difficult times in the past, but some how this time was different.
I’m seeing now, that there is a lot of stuff I thought I couldn’t do, but I was able to do it….and I didn’t lose my mind, and I’m STILL ALIVE! HA!
My marriage is stronger because of it, and that alone made it all worth it.
As I sit and think about everything else that will be “difficult” – I just keep thinking about what we, as a family, just accomplished.
Life is a race. It is about endurance. The key for me right now, is to learn how to enjoy the race and not keep looking towards the finish line.
I still believe, that no matter what, God is good and He has great plans for this family…
