As an official away message, I thought I’d share this very personal story pertaining to where I will be. In July 2016, I was single (and ready to mingle aka be a wife). I remember laying on my bed after a date that went no where and asking God to give me a glimpse of my future husband. That was my bargain—if I can’t have him now, can I at least know a little bit about him? Here is what I heard… “He will be human. He will not be stuffy. He will give you tasteful flowers and wear all black shoes.” All black shoes, how random? Fast forward to summer 2017, when I started to take an interest in Kyle. I definitely noticed his shoe of choice, which was all black sneakers—the exact image I had seen during my prayer time. I was telling my mom about him and mentioned this detail about the shoes and the prayer/journal entry. When I went back in my notes to read it to her, I noticed it had been exactly 1 year prior that I had journaled it. Enchanting, but nonetheless I felt silly reading into it. Kyle and I began dating shortly after, and when I went into his closet for the first time it was all I could do to contain my laughter. Pairs and pairs of all black shoes. It was all he owned. I knew pretty early on that I wanted to marry Kyle, but these affirmations gave me endurance when things got hard or foggy, because I knew what the Lord had promised me. This love story, like any real life one, has been a rough ride at times. We were actually split up for over half a year in 2018, but even then when I would ask the Lord for his guidance, I would see 2 images—one of Kyle on his knee proposing, and the other of him in a suit on our wedding day. It’s not always straightforward discerning these impressions, and I’ve dealt with countless “is that just what I want, or is that God speaking?” moments along the way. I suppose it is usually both, since He is in my heart. The Lord cares about me. He cares about you. He loves to woo us and care for us and give us huge beautiful promises. He loves to speak to you, if you will listen. This weekend I get to marry the love of my life, my dream come true, my promise fulfilled. I will be out of the office August 13–30. ❤️

Repetition paired with negative space is always so satisfying to me. Type A friends, you with me?
