Getting out of Dodge…

It’s Monday….its been a long week since my last Monday post…almost hard to believe the changes that have happened, many big, many small, many imperceptible to anyone but us. But they have all been for our good, for our learning and for us to grow together and individually. Last Monday was a good day, but on the tails of a hard weekend, today is another good Monday, but on the heels of a good weekend, but if you take a step back, while at first glance anyone would choose the good weekend over the hard one, but I know that both weekends have taught us and strengthened us and have brought us to where we are today…closer to each other, more connected than ever. There are times when words are not even needed, just a glance when we are on a video call can say everything, a text can be interpreted in the correct way because we just know, we’ve always known and now, now we get to explore that connection in a way that we both never thought would be a possibility for either of us, but because we have been reconnected, we have this chance to explore a deeper connection, a divine connection, a oneness that transcends this world and is higher and more beautiful and pure.

But there are still a few hurdles, but somehow in this past week, even though they are right there in the foreground of every conversation, they have somehow drifted to the background, they are important and need to happen, but are also of little consequence to where we are at the moment. I know that may seem silly or doesn’t make sense, but we have somehow gotten past, transcended the hurdle in a connected way and now it just needs to happen physically and we know it will. The patience, trust, and hope that I have been studying has truly put this into perspective and helped me to see a bigger picture, I wish I had seen it earlier, it would have saved some heartache for both of us, but then again, I know that we only go through what makes us stronger and better if we choose to learn from it.

So today was a good day for US as us and for each of us, I went back to work, had some help at the house with a pre-moving task that went well and puts me ahead of schedule for the loading on Wednesday, CJ was productive at work coming to the end of a project, and we had texts, video calls and quite a few long phone conversations, a first for us, usually they are much shorter, short and sweet yes, but today was lovely to talk and hang out and just almost be chill in our conversation like it was a normal day for us, which was honestly very nice.

It shows me that Heavenly Father does indeed know us individually, He knows where we are and meets us in those moments, especially when its hard for us to come unto Him, He finds us and shows us His love, mercy and kindness so that we may find our way back to Him. He has been gracious these many months, weeks and days and I know He carries each of us and takes the backroads, the unpaved dirt roads, the byways, the roads less traveled to find each of us where we need Him and when we are ready to make a change and get out of Dodge, He’s there to guide us to where He needs us.
