Looking toward the future, which sometimes seems like time has stopped moving, I am endlessly amazed by the unique ways God provides. As we watch lots of couples "tie the knot" it is easy to feel restless and anxious that our time will never come. But it is so sweet to trust in Jesus. He has provided life abundantly for us here and now. The future is full of uncertainty, but praise the Lord, we are not in control of our future. To us it often sees like God is behind the time table, when in reality He made time and is outside of it. How refreshing. We have been engaged four months, and honestly, what a blessing. We have both learned so much about each other that we never would have learned otherwise. With each new challenge that presents itself it so cool to watch God show up. Lately we have not been able to spend time together, but last night I (amanda) got a phone call it was TJ so I answered and he started acting nervous...I was confused because we were already engaged sooo I didn't understand what the deal was.
" Oh ... um hi. This is TJ"
me: "Hi TJ whats up?"
TJ: "I was ummm wondering if umm you were free on Friday night?"
me realizing he was asking me on first date " umm ya I get off work at six. What did you want to do?"
TJ: Well, I was thinking that umm maybe we could go to Chilis? If you like Chilis, then maybe go to a movie, or go to U Paint it or umm wander around the mall?"
me: " Oh sure that sounds like fun"
TJ: "Ok well i'll pick you up"
Yes, he was right down the hall when this conversation occurred. And yes, 10 months from the day this phone call we will be married. And yes, this month is our 3.5 year anniversary. What a tremendous blessing he is to my life.
