3 years, 2 months, and 13 days – This Girl is On Fire
Saturday marked 9 months since I said “I Do” to my husband and almost a month since my relocation to Texas to be with him. 3 years, 2 months, and 13 days since we began our courtship…
It feels as if I have known him forever. Actually, it has been more than half my life. The last time I saw him before we re-connected in early 2009; I was a young girl-woman heading out into the world with fire in my eyes. I was ready to change the world.
Now I am a married woman. Still with fire in my eyes, yet now with a new purpose… God’s. It’s still my desire to change the world, but only if He gets the credit in the end.
Alicia Keys – “This Girl is On Fire” is my husband’s latest theme song for me 🙂
