The term JOURNEY is defined as: Traveling from one place to another or passage or progress from one stage to another. Right now I feel that I am taking two journeys in faith in my everyday life. The first being my relationship with my husband. (This represented in a photo of the back of my wedding dress with our rings tucked in the lacing). My husband and I met three and a half years ago on a blind date. I had just about given up on finding anyone. I lived in a small town with limited options for dating guys around my age among other things to say the least. A friend and coworker said she had someone she knew and was willing to set us up on a blind date. I had been on several blind dates in college and hadn't had much success so I was skeptical to go on another. But the saying is true when you least expect it and give up on love it will happen. So I gave the blind date a chance and everything worked out and to this day we thank our friend for setting us up. Almost a year ago my husband and I went from the journey of dating to getting married and in three months we start another journey of starting a family. Beyond our relationship another journey my husband and I took was buying our first house and a new car together. The second picture is a journey that I have been taking for almost two years now. I have always believed in God growing up, I just never really devoted much time beyond an occasional prayer. I decided to try to become closer with God through Attending church, Studying the Bible, Participating in Spirit Studies at my church, Assisting with Youth Group, Teaching Sunday School, Crocheting Prayer Shawls, and trying to live a more Christian life. I have learned a lot about myself and my relationship with God through my studies, but know that the journey is ongoing and will grow as long as I don't falter or lose faith in the Lord. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do and he will show you which path to take." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
