The journey- life together-ish

I'm still here.  In my 4th week of being a med student's wife.  The days are long and the nights are rough and every night I have to tell myself it isn't for forever.  See, me and my hubster- we are tight.  Always have been. We grew up together. His dad, while we were in high school would call him " that Wheeler kid" ( my maiden name)  because we were always together.  I enjoy my life with him- we laugh about so much, discuss great topics- we do life together.  

So now I sit here -without him -and am tempted to dwell on that. But the thing is- I know that Tim was made for this.  And I, being his lifetime, forever, do life together, go- to girl didn't support him- I would feel responsible for not letting Tim be what he was made for.  God is so good and so faithful- I am confident that he put this in our hearts and wouldn't set us up for failure.  I am somewhat looking forward to deepening my walk with Jesus. And I say somewhat because I know that hard times are ahead- and who really wants hard times?  But my past tells me that in these times God's presence is all the sweeter.  "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." (James 1:2-4 ESV). That "steadfastness" bit sounds great.  I pray I can be the woman my boys will remember as a woman who was unshaken in her faith, clinging to God's Word and praying continually.  

By God's grace- a little less crazy.
