It's Tuesday, August 4th 2009 at 8:06pm
Today is me and my husband's 4 month wedding anniversary. Doesn't sound like very long, but a lot has happened in a very short time. Going back just 4 months before that (8 months ago), even MORE has happened. Let's see, 8 months ago, it would have been December 4th. By that time Michael (now my husband) and I had been seriously dating. On Christmas night while visiting my parents out in WA, he proposed. We decided to get married April 4th. In the mean time, there had been several delays in trying to get the record out that Brian and I had started back in June of 08, and the publishing company I had been writing songs with for the last 4 years decided not to renew contract. Michael and I got married in April, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks later and 2 months later we found out we were already pregnant. WOAH.
My head spins when I just sit and think about all the life that has happened this year already. I keep going back to so many lyrics of these songs on Where Do We Go From Here and even today, ESPECIALLY today, what I wrote in the past still rings so true in my heart today. So many of the songs are cries of my heart for God to reassure me He is here as well as an echoing statement that I want to trust and follow Him in the craziness of life, good and bad. Sometimes life feels too big. It feels overwhelming and scary with all the uncertainty that it brings. Marriage in itself was a big step for me. But now standing at the threshhold of parenthood is a whole other canyon I feel so inadequate and humbled to cross. I praise God for His faithfulness, His provision, the amazing support and encouragement He sends through family and friends. It shows me just how much I desperately need Him and how we as people need each other. |
