Old Songs with New Melodies


Hello internet family... and welcome to a new year... so much is the same but the tunes have changed a bit. I have been sharing my life with new family and friends. One in particular, who goes by B, reminded me of my old wordy ways on the web so here I am again.

I am starting a new season. This is a season of joy and utter trust in God. I decided about a year ago to stop worrying about the details of things I could not change. I decided to trust in the Lord and lean on him for all things I didn't understand, truly. I have tried doing this before and I never quite made it all the way... This last year I am so pleased to be blessed to know the comfort and peace of giving it all to Him. I work as hard as I can in all that I do, but I know now I am only human and I can't do it all. Praise God, I don't have too.
 
Picking up where I left off about six months after my surgery the pain that I experienced due to the Endometriosis slowly started returning. Its just about full blown again, but Dr. Liem and I agreed that we wanted to hold off on another surgery for as long as we can. Thanks to all the blessings of my life, I can continue working on a pretty normal and regular basis. I have a few tricks up my sleeve that have kept the symptoms from becoming as severe as they were in 2010.


I am also completely oblivious to everything going on around me because I am crazy about my life with my new husband. He is my new story. He is my new melody along with this unbelievable weight that I have let go of. We have been married for three months and I never dreamed life could be this way. For all you hopeless romantics out there... marriage with God as your guide is way better than any book. I have told all who ask me how I like married life that "I knew it would be good... I didn't know it could be this good." So I want to share with you who if are curious why I think marriage is so great. I will also share with you what I am learning as a new wife. There are plenty of ways for a new marriage to become frustrating and make it seem like a mistake. No matter how much you love someone, living with a person can be hard... Or it can be the best thing you've ever had if you learn how to do it. I hope to be brave enough to be transparent and honest with what I am learning... Even in just three months I have learned a lot about myself and my loves. I am so thankful for all that I am learning and that we have had this opportunity to grow so much more in love.
