For those who understand struggles, and how each of us have our own, we are all still connected in the same way. Maybe we aren't going thru the same thing, but the fact of going thru a hardship can connect us on how painful it is emotionally. I guess the hardest thing for us at this time is trying to find ways to become stable. What jobs we have to get into, what sacrifices we have to make to pay the bills on time, or how to support each other without defending what we individually think is best. We live for each other meaning what we get ourselves into doesn't just affect one, it affects all.
As emotional as this has been for us, we never fail to count our blessings. Sometimes it's hard to take the negative feedback we get, and at times we question ourselves what did we get into? When are we ever going to be stable? Why can't we just give up now? Then the reality check of people constantly reminding us how young we are, and we still have a full life ahead of us. People at our ward thought me and Travis were brother and sister, and boy did we find that very awkward. We've had feedback from some who remind us that going back to school is the best thing to do. We've had feedback reminding us that if we just waited it all would've been better.
Of course it hurts to get this feedback, but it was all we were expecting. We expected to be doubted, to be judged, to be misinterpreted. Whether be because of our age, or of how unstable we are doing, the last thing we have on our minds is to not try. We've been this far in life to realize life lessons. We have been taught wrong from right. We knew that if we were able to make the best choice for us which is to be lawfully wedded, we would go through the experience of always trying. To never give up, or give in to doubts. If one thing doesn't work, there was always another way. We do what we can, because we know it's worth every sweat, tear, and time.
These are more than just lessons, these are the simple blessings that we know God has given us to get through. like the quote, "god doesn't put us in situations we can't handle." He knows our potential, and he patiently awaits as we try and discover what we have. Everything has a purpose, and I know that all I can do is thank him. He's helped me through trails many times, why would he stop helping me? He's has given me the best companion to bring me back to what's right. Who constantly reminds me that he's never going to leave. To remind me he's the hottest guy ill ever meet in my whole entire life. I can't argue with that, LOL.
Through the storm, and the hardship, I'm happy that I am able to count my blessings, to see how much we've accomplished, and to realize the teachings of every real life lesson we go through. Patience is hard, but always served better with prayer.
Loving every second of my life, and glad that my plan was made to be this way. God is good. xo!
