“Anyone who says that sunshine brings happiness has never danced through the rain…”
It’s been a cold, dreary day with the world draped in a shawl of gray. But the scene outside my window couldn’t have been further from the scene I carry in my heart. It has been sixteen months now since James and I decided to walk along life’s road together. And now that we are on the verge of taking our commitment one step further, I couldn’t be happier. I could never think of anyone else I would rather spend the rest of my life with. With James, I feel profoundly safe and secure… and so deeply loved.
While it may be true that many trials have rocked our relationship from the very beginning, we’ve only gotten stronger in our love and firmer in our faith. Perhaps, the biggest challenge in our relationship so far has come to pass, and we have been blessed to be left unscathed, thanks to the love and support of our families, our church, and the people around us whom we call friends. We know that more trials lie ahead, but we also know that along with the trials are more wonderful memories to be made, especially while we so patiently wait for the coming of a little angel into our lives.
I love you so much James. Thank you for giving me two of my life’s greatest miracles… your love… and your seed…
