A Course of Events.

It isn't hard for me to see that everything I've done in my life has shaped me and moved me to the place where I am now, all of it toward the person I'm meant to be with forever. If I never would've stayed in the abusive relationship so long, I wouldn't have had my son. If I hadn't married my ex for all the wrong reasons, I wouldn't have ever become so disgusted with where I lived to take that leap of faith and move halfway across the country. If I weren't so lonely and lacking in friends, I never would've joined the online site where I met HIM. I can't imagine any two people being more perfect and right for each other.

I knew we were meant to be before we even met in person, and how it scared me! It's too early, I thought. I'm rebounding. I don't want to fall in love so hard and so fast. It took HIM to make me realize that there was nothing wrong with the quickness of our affection. Who are we, really, to go against what was starting to look more and more like the hand of God in our lives? He asserted that if I fell in love with him, it wouldn't scare him off...and I believed him.

It was one of the best things I've ever done in my life.

Not so long after, I sent him the lyrics and a link to a youtube video of this song. It perfectly expresses us without the need for any more words. He can't stand country music, but when he listened to it and read the words, he cried. I know I sure did.




God Blessed the Broken Road
-Rascall Flatts

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

[Chorus]

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
