Today.

– My first day at my first full-time job… no longer being a student, starting a career.

– Our first premarital counseling session.

After a great Father’s Day celebrating my dad with family, and only a couple hours of sleep, by the time I got in the chair next to J for our session I was tired.

But praise the Lord for a gracious fiance and the freedom to be still and quiet.

This past year I’ve learned that it’s okay to still. It’s okay to not exert energy every minute of the day. It’s okay to ponder and reflect, to observe by listening.

God is good, God is faithful.

I’m thankful for grace, and hope, and this life.
