This is Only the Beginning
I'm surrounded by so many grown-up things here lately, but somehow I still don't feel quite grown. I mean, I've been in college for almost 8 years now, so it's hard to feel like a 'real' grown up since I don't have a big person job. But, it seems as though I've definitely taken the major steps to grown-uphood already. Marriage and becoming a mother being top on the list :)
It all seems so surreal. It's hard to believe in just 4 short months that we'll be moving away from Conway - embarking on a brand new adventure. This is the only house Kylie has ever known, so it's just a little sad thinking about leaving, but at the same time it's exciting to know that we're starting a new stage in life. I'm just torn I guess.
I was thinking on the way to clinic the other morning about all these things, and I realized something. This is our beginning. When Toby and I are 70 and we're asked how our first few years of marriage was, we'll speak of these times. I pray that Toby and I are blessed with many years together. It's always so encouraging to talk to older couples and glean from their wisdom. I want to be like that one day. But, realizing that this is only the beginning is so exciting. God has so much left to do in our lives. I feel like this is an ending because I haven't known anything different for almost a decade, but in the grand scheme of things. This really is only the beginning.
So, I can be confident that the One who saved me and loves me will continue to transform and mold me into who He wants me to be. He knows where life will take us, and He knows how our story will end. He will always remain faithful because He cannot deny Himself.
