Where will we call 'home'? Who will be our friends? What will the life we're living look like? The uncertainty of the future is nerve-wracking and no one on this earth knows what is yet to come. Everyone finds some manner to cope with the possibility of what might or might not happen.
Lately, I've turned to worrying, stressing, and praying. A lot. [Big surprise, right? ha] What is going to happen in my life? Will Byron and I get to live in the same town again? Is he going to get a job near me? When's it going to happen? Where are we going to be living? These are the questions that bounced around in my head (and out of my mouth) incessantly for the past two months.
On Saturday afternoon as Byron and I apartment hunted, he made comment, "I wonder what our lives will look like in a month." He didn't mean it as a heartfelt, thought-provoking statement, but it did make me think, What will our life look like in a month? I've been so worried about the future that I haven't had time to hope for it. So I'm trading in my repetitive, doubtful question for an open-ended statement that lends itself to joyful anticipation and excitement:
One month from now, I will . . .
- live in the same apartment with my husband!!! [where? to be determined. when will we move? not yet decided.]
- have a husband who works at a company called ____. [that's still in the works, too]
I'm asking the same questions as before, but this time my perspective is different. I still lack the answers and don't know all of the details [Do we ever?!], but I am so giddy and hopeful for the future. [If you've been reading my last entries, you're probably wondering who exactly is writing this entry!] Things are finally swinging into motion for Byron and me, and I couldn't be more excited.
