April 2012. I took a huge leap of Faith last year and hopped on a plane to meet/visit a special someone in Hawaii that I had grown very close to over the past 8 months. My best friend. I was scared but excited. Nervous but confident. Giddy but wanting to vomit {in a good way of course, ya?}. What I didn't know was that two months later we would be eloping on a beach, committing ourselves to forever.
Many of you might know of Mrs. Sarah Tucker. She is such an amazing woman. She posted this a couple days ago and it just hit home with me.
"Someone wrote me this morning about a broken heart. I have the biggest
heart for anyone going through heart break. I had my heart broken
into pieces when I was 21. And if I got what I wanted at 21, I would be
miserable today. Heart break hurts worse than open heart surgery. And I
know both. But had I not have gone through that I wouldn't have such a
full heart today. And if anything I went through it to tell this girl
that Gods plan is better. Pray for your future husband and I promise God
will knock it out of the park." -Sarah Tucker
I went through a lot before meeting my husband, more than I think most women go through. But, if I
hadn't... I wouldn't have been the woman I am today, the woman my
husband needed/needs me to be. I'd be miserable.
God knew what he was doing.
