#RealTalk // these past four months have been some of the toughest we’ve had as a couple. Job searching, especially when you feel like you’re doing all the right things in the right ways, is emotionally draining. It quickly turns into soul searching, doubt, disappointment, disagreements, sadness, feeling unworthy ...you name it, we experienced it. Hey, I’ll say it. It sucked. 🤷🏼♀️🤪
.
But I know this past season served a purpose. Many purposes, likely. God has plans to use this past season in big ways, I 100% believe that. The one thing that kept us going was the faith that His plan was bigger than ours. (It got real shaky sometimes, I won’t lie, guys. This is tough stuff!) And now that we’re on the other side of it, I hope I get to see all the silver linings shining through soon.

One of the things I’ve definitely been reminded of throughout this process is that we tie so much meaning to “what we do.” When that’s stripped away, it’s hard to know what’s left sometimes. Of course, this couldn’t be further from the truth, we are SO much bigger than what we do for a living. We have so much more to offer this world than our professional title. Spouse, parent, friend, neighbor, volunteer, community member.

I’ve also been reminded time and time again throughout this process how blessed we really already are. How much we already have...Our health. A roof over our heads. Meaningful relationships. A tiny cute human.

There’s so many people who encouraged us during this season, showed up for us, prayed for us, checked up on us...and for that we are so incredibly grateful. Thank you. I couldn’t be more proud of @jginop and his resilience. 💙 Cheers to the next chapter! God is good.
