Can I let you in on something? I love marriage. I really do. I am a huge believer in marriage. For years I would casually mention to Travis that I wanted to write about marriage. That I wanted to share about it with others. But I would always chicken out. Because I felt like because our marriage wasn’t perfect, I had no right to share with others. Silly right?
Last year we had a tough year. A lot of changes in our lives and a lot of strain on our marriage. And it was hard you guys. But we overcame it. We walked through the flames together and came out better because of it. I won’t tell you that we have it all figured out. But what I will tell you is this- we never give up. And that is all you need to know. Because our hearts are so passionate about marriage, we refuse to let life tear us apart.
Back in November we were watching a sermon together. The pastor talked about procrastination and how we alway say “one day”. At one point he said, if you feel called to do something, DO IT. Do not hesitate, do it now. Because one day may not come and you can miss out on the blessing God has for you if you are obedient to his calling. And you guys, my heart stopped. Right there. I knew exactly what he meant because for YEARS I had felt God calling me to share more about marriage but I always hesitated. I always made excuses for myself. I always thought, I am not ready yet. But that sermon gave me the motivation. So I decided that day to start.
I know what you are probably thinking. That happened in November, you didn’t just start! But I did. I sat down the very next morning and jotted down thoughts. And I came up with topics that I wanted to share and made a list of what I needed to make this come to life. I spent weeks brainstorming topics and preparing posts so that I could share this series with you guys! I am so excited to share a little piece of my heart with you all.
