Tomorrow will mark what would have been P and my 7th wedding anniversary. I'm blogging about it tonight because tomorrow will be busy. But I just want to share a few thoughts...
1. I am wanting to do fun things on memory jerking days... I mean why wallow in self-pity right? So my school is having a "Winter Waltz". :) When I heard of it in the beginning I was like, serious? But yes they are having a full blown out waltz... I'm not going to go all out fancy, but I thought it would be so much fun right? I told my friend that I would go with her. Today I was thinking of what it was going to cost me to go... though I would have tons of fun... I didn't know if it was worth the money, since I want to live on a good budget. When I checked the mail today, I got a check from a friend... Thought of us and sent us a monetary gift. Perfect timing. I thought... God does loves me... So... tomorrow I am going to a dance. :)
2. This year as I thought about this day approaching, I wanted to focus more on the what is and the what will be rather than the what could have beens. God had every part of my life mapped out from before I was conceived... I trust in the God that ordains the good and the bad that happen in life. I do not want to live in fear, but in the hope that Christ gives us with the life He gave up and took back!!! I'm learning to trust!
3. 7 years is a long time, but yet so short... so much has happened. The Lord gives and He takes away... I just want to bless His name... Lord whatever the next 7 years may bring, let me be able to say "Blessed be Your Name!!"
Praying for continual JOY as the Lord leads our every step. He is good and His mercies are new every morning. I love you Lord! Thank You for the 3 years and almost 4 months we did have together as man and wife.
