Every new year you hope for better things to come. For us, January came crashing in with a vengeance, or so it seemed. We were hit with a pretty intense blow that shook us pretty good. Not that there is ever a good time for bad news but the timing was off, or it was off from what our plan was.
I've always been a person who believes 2 things: Everything happens for a reason, and God won't give you more than you can handle. We're an awesome family (if I say so myself) and I knew we could handle it all, and even do it with a little bit of grace. What I seemed to forget a few times is the first one.
It's all making sense and not just for the obvious reasons. This, this change is what we needed now. It made us realize things about ourselves, and each other. We were reminded of the strength we have, individually and as couple and as a family and we realized exactly where our priorities are and where we need to be to be our best.
January was a tough month, but we pulled through. I can even look back and say it was a good month in spite of all the uncertainty.
As chaotic as January was, we never would have expected for February to blow in so gracefully. We're only 5 days in and the changes we've seen are so drastic. The blow we took last month was reduced to a small bump in the road and we received a wonderful prognosis. Add to that, this unexpected change in plans has turned into a huge blessing in disguise.
It's a little scary how smoothly everything has fallen into place and we're still very cautious, but the idea of a little bit of smooth sailing sure is a pleasant thought.
