Sometimes i just sit back and wonder how in the world this all happened. This was not an easy transformation. Things went wrong, people didn't agree on everything, friends were lost, tragedy happened... My dad would always say "well thats life" and it would make me so mad! Looking back on it I know i was just hostile from the stress and he is absolutely right. This is life! the horrible times and rough transformations are what make life the thing its meant to be. It's meant to be a struggle.
Today is me and joeys dating anniversary. 2 years and 9 months ago we started on this incredible journey. He was an atheist. I was a Christian that had fallen away from the path God wanted me to do.We were both broke. I was jobless and he worked at Hot Topic but lost his job a month or two after we started dating. It was then that he dropped the military bomb on me. I was not ok with the idea but it was clear that this would be our best decision if we wanted to have a family together.
We've both grown so much from everything that has happened these past couple years. Ive quit smoking. Joeys quitting smoking. Joey's a Christian and We've both grown in our relationships with God. I'm trying to be the best wife i can be while Joey works for the Air Force. I clean house and try to keep a budget. I have fun just watching movies and drinking a glass of wine with him. we still game and hang out with people but its not like it was before we got married. It's just kinda crazy that we're in Japan being adults. haha I never wanted to grow up and here i am enjoying it for the most part. I didnt ever expect to move out of the same town as my parents till i was 25.
Obviously things dont go according to MY plan. I think this was probably the biggest test God could have given me. not only am i terrified of flying but i know nothing about military life. and hes stranded me smack dab in the middle of all of it. Anyone who says God doesnt have a sense of humor is flat out lying. I guarantee hes getting a good laugh at me daily. I know i would be! lol He is a funny God and i love that hes put me and Joey here. Its been life changing.
I keep reminding myself to just go with the flow and let God do his thing. No matter what happens it is happening for a reason and God knows what hes doing. =D
