Loving in Life

Life has been a roller coaster since I met Andy. I have never met someone before who intrigued me like he did. I didn't start out as his biggest fan, but my spirit was in love with him from the first time I ever saw him speaking from the stage. It was an event that no one showed up for...it was a total flop. My dad and I were 2 of 8 in the audience. Andy had worked so hard and the night was a disaster. But I walked away from that night knowing for some reason knowing that he needed me. I just had no idea what that was going to look like down the road.

We never actually dated, just knew we were a fit for what God had for both of us. Honestly as of lately I think we have both started to learn that the reasons we thought God put us together are not set in stone. They seem to be changing just as we do. The more we learn about each other it seems the more that our roles to each other have needed to adapt. Not gonna lie, it can be really challenging. But I guess I have decided that this is what marriage is all about. I don't think that one day you look up at each other when you are in your 80's and you decide that you have finally figured the other one out. Maybe its that way for some, but that's not what I want. There are so many sides of life that I want to see. I want a life full of experiences. And at the end of the day, if the goal is to keep striving to be more like Christ anyway then shouldn't I always be changing, growing and learning? I guess where I am going with this is that I don't think its such a bad thing to realize that there is still so much to learn about someone who you are supposed to know inside and out. To me, I think love should always keep growing. I never want to say that I finally know how to love my husband in the perfect way since I hope it always gets bigger and more definite to who we are at whatever point in life we find ourselves in.

In closing I will say this at the risk of him getting made fun of for it. No matter what may come our way, at the end of the day God giving Andy to me as my leader and my husband is the absolute greatest honor I know that I will ever have in life.
