Three years ago tonight, we had an early anniversary celebration with our family.
Three years later - God is still teaching us. The more turns in the road, the more grateful I am for the One who is guiding our future!
Here are excerpts of my FB post from that day:
Winding Road
Today has been a wonderful day! We got together for a delightful "early anniversary" dinner. It was delicious! Then we hung out on the Peabody roof for a little while as the sun was setting. The weather was perfect and the view was beautiful.
Earlier today, I had an appointment with the plastic surgeon. Follow-up surgeries are sometimes needed after reconstruction, and by the end of the appointment, we were making arrangements for surgery. That will be happening in early October. I'm not overly concerned, but another surgery and recovery in 2015 hadn't really been on my radar.
Monday, we head back to the eye doctor for an angiogram of my eye to see what's up.
A winding road. That's what this week has been. Things I LOVE and things unexpected. Life is like that. We do not always know what's around the next corner - but we are NEVER alone on this journey. As unexpected things have happened, God's peace and presence has increased. What used to feel like a roller coaster, now feels like a winding road. It is all about perspective!! And I intend to sit back and enjoy the view.
“There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!” Romans 5:3-5 MSG
