Rambling..

When dating I had the checklist. What girl in their right mind wouldn’t? The number one no was always military. Until…(dun dun duuun…) I met Brandon! :) Before I agreed on the date with Brandon, I learned about his unit and that he wasn’t deployed for a year at a time. So…that is what even let me go on the date to begin with. I entered it as “Ok here goes another dead-end first date, and first date with a military guy.” And…here we are!

Along with Brandon being military I couldn’t help but think of the benefits, like…well he’s locked in, good steady job, and paycheck. After today that has put me at a halt. Of course, not re-thinking my decision to be with him at all, just the thought of “steady paycheck”. Um, what is really going on here? I don’t keep up with the political aspects of this country…although I probably should. In my life if the president is interrupting one of my shows I simply flip to cartoons and go about my day. But, today I was told by my fiancé, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” It’s crazy how 6 simple words can stop the brain from bouncing around and calm the racing heart. That my friends, is love! Knowing that I can literally lay my life in someone’s hands and continue with my day like nothing is even going on and know that everything will be ok is great.

But then I find myself saying something that I always find myself coming back to…God will provide. I don’t know where I even picked it up from, but what a strong statement it is. He will provide. When all the hoopla was going on with voting for the president I thought, ”Really? Who runs this world to being with? What is meant to happen will happen.“

So with that being said…even with ½ a paycheck, I trust in my God that he will provide.
