Hey my fellow loves. I have missed you all so much! I'M BACK NOW!!!!
So much has happened since my last entry. My husband and I had our first child on June 23 and we have also celebrated 1 year of marital bliss! Which brings me to my topic of Sacrifices.
You know I will say that me and my husband have faced a lot with in just a year of marriage. Some of what we have gone through some people who have been married for years could not take. I thank God because we have also accomplished so much in which people who have been married for years could not accomplish.
I have learned many things in just my first year of marriage, but I would like to focus on sacrifice. And I am not just talking about giving up the simple things, but sacrificing something that you may not thought that you would have to give up for a while.
You know sometimes we take things for granted. Such as, always having your spouse home, being able to watch you newborn sleep, being able to have your own home and being able to say with all that you accomplish "that's mines". What if you had to move away from your family for a while to be able to provide? What if you just had your newborn and would not be able to watch him grow up for the first months because the only way you could get a job to provide for your family was to move out of state? What if your spouse had to do these things? Would you feel comfortable with it? How would you handle it?
Sometimes life throws these curve balls and when it comes to your family, you will do anything. With the current state of this economy you never know what may hit your home. I know for my husband and I we never would have imagined all that has come but we thank God that what we were preparing ourselves for we don't have to do. But knowing that at times to make it, you have to do the unthinkable. But with the unthinkable God will see you through it.
For better or for worst, through sickness and in health.....Sacrifice is more that giving up the known but sometimes having to do the unthinkable!
