You, me and us.

It was funny last night. We went to the park in DeWitt, and saw some people who go to Riverview. They actually drive that far as well. The best part is that we just met the wife last Sunday. Josh can't seem to stop talking to other people. Maybe that is why we got married, we are so opposite.

It humors me that I don't understand why we got married. I mean besides the obvious love thing and all, we are so different. And even if we end up changing, we somehow manage to be different. Josh is the soul of consistency. I am not. But I am terribly loyal.

It's interesting to see us work, usually I am the disciplinarian, but lately Josh has been trying his hand at it, and the girls listen to him, no problem. Maybe I should go out and work so when I come home, they will listen to me better. Well, maybe not. I'm not too thrilled with the consequences of not being here for them while they are little. I guess I'm stubborn like that.

Somehow God knew what He was doing when we met. Josh was just planning on going into the military or become a priest. I convinced him to go to college. Although I never knew that until a lot later. It's funny to think, what a different lives we would have led if we never got married. I have no idea where I would have ended up. (Scary to think.) Josh has a lot of potential, is what I thought, to be a really great person. He has a lot of good solid qualities, that since I am so flighty, could never have. Maybe that's why we complement each other so well. He needs a motivator, and I am a strong motivation. I don't know how, but I make things happen. I guess I just have faith to see it through, and I heavily support whatever Josh or the kids want to do, whether I like it or not. Unless I know that it is out of God's will, I will be their #1 fan.

That's just who I am.

There has been a few times when I have felt outside of God's will. I don't pretend to know what His will is, but I do know when I've stepped over the line. I loved a line I heard today, that someone used on the Riv boards, he called himself a "recovering Catholic." It's funny to think that now Josh is Protestant, and although he can't be a priest because he's married and not Catholic anymore, I think his walk with God is leading him to be in ministry still. He still has that strong call on his life to be a minister somehow, I guess we will see. He probably would have still been Catholic if he hadn't married me. Well, that is a silly sentance, because he wanted to be a priest, so of course he would of been Catholic.

Although, it seems like when you switch religions, especially from or to Catholism, you are "recovering" persay. You're trying to figure out what you believe and how the religion you choose coincides with those beliefs. I love having a personal relationship with God. I love the life application teaching at our church. I love the music and worship time as well. So being a non-denom suits me, I can relate whatever they teach to my life, and usually it works with what I have been going through all week long (or longer, I've gotten a slap in the face before). Funny how that works out.

I didn't mean to make a novel out of this! I guess we will see what God has planned for us. I'm sure that it'll totally surprise the heck out of me.
