today marks 11 months since this man & I met. yes, that's right, we met less than a year ago & in 49 days we begin the rest of our lives together. forty-nine days, people. this is the first picture we took together last june, when I took a trip to Louisville to visit this guy I had just met a couple weeks before. yes, it sounds crazy, and if you told me this would be how I met & dated my future husband I would have laughed at you. why? because I love control. stated differently, I hate feeling out of control. but that's exactly how the Lord orchestrated this entire thing... out of my control.
each time I look back at our story I am reminded that I am not in control; that God is sovereign; and that I can trust Him. honestly, letting go & trusting the Lord is a struggle for me. the funny thing about that is I am totally fine with trusting myself: the short-sighted, unwise twenty-something that I am. but I think that's the reason the Lord has taken me through these crazy journeys because it teaches me that He is good, that everything He does is good, and that He can be trusted no matter what. that's not to say that everything in life will be rainbows & butterflies, but it means real peace and life to the full with the Lord rather than stressed out, anxious life trying to control everything on my own. praise the Lord for His faithfulness & writing a beautiful story.
here's to Churchill Downs, walks that last the whole day, & 49 days until #haefnerforever
