Everyone has a different story. A different path of life that they were given. Some people were blessed with cherished up brings; others saw the harshness the world can offer way to early. However, it makes you, you. I often ponder why things have happened the way they did or why some things continue to be upsetting. Why will my Dad never be able to walk me down the aisle? Why must my heart be broken, only to have an inkling of hope? Why does my job test my loneliness? Because, it is a part of my beautiful story. My life has been blessed from the beginning of time and I am happy to live my life, my story and have it be so different from everybody else’s. Enjoy your unique delicate intimacy of life that God wove together for you, and rejoice in his purpose and plan for you alone.
Hang in there. There is a story about a woven tapestry where the underneath is full of dark colors that look all in disarray, but when you turn it over, the portrait is beautiful. Perfectly woven. Things don't always turn out quiet as we plan or even in a way we could ever imagine, but they always turn out as they should be in God's plan. And without the harder times, the good times wouldn't be so great. They help to make the silver lining. I still question lots of things with Ivey everyday, how I will not stand and put that veil on her before her wedding, but somehow there is something bittersweet to come, I just know it. There will be many tears shed in the meantime, but some many amazing miracles will define her, and me. You too.
