Standing or Flying

"When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly."
— Patrick Overton

Three weeks ago today, Brad and I were married. It has been an exciting road and a bit scary to get to this place, but I am glad life has come the way it has and that the sovereign hand of God was over it all. Sometimes I struggle knowing that I can't just stop by and say hi at my parents place, I can't go to the familiar places I know, or hang out with an old friend. However, I know that this is exactly where I am to be and that it is good. I so love my husband, and know he is a gift from God. And I know that over time this will truly become another (temporary) home that I will come to love. God watches over all His children. Does He not take wonderful care of them, providing all they need? He absolutely does.
The quote I began this writing with relates quite well. Though I am not at the edge of all the light I know, for Christ is my light, I am in a completely new place in life, an unknown road, a new town, a new home. As, by God's grace, I follow The Light, I know that "one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on, or [ I ] will be taught how to fly".
