We met in college at the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!) and both of our families are still in Knoxville and Kingsport. September, 2nd 2012 I had the Tennessee wedding of my dreams and married my favorite person in the world. Our journey as a dating couple started November, 4th 2009 and took us through some trying times. God's grace has been so evident in our relationship as he led through some hardships of major differences, distance and our own mistakes and failures. Ours is story of God's redemption and kindness.
My husband, Danny works as a sub-contracting landman in the oil/gas industry. This means we live our lives on the road. Although we have a permanent address in TN, we haven't actually lived there since mid December of 2012. We have lived in several hotels in cities across the north east, but since having our sweet girl join our journey in August of 2013, we have been able to find some sort of furnished house or apartment that will allow us to pay a daily rate. We have been so blessed in this way and right now we are in a three bedroom apartment in Evansville, IN.
This lifestyle and job provides us with many uncertainties and thus many opportunities for worry and fear of the unknown to creep in. Questions bombard me... sometimes daily. "Where will our 'home' be?", Where will we be when the baby is born?", "Where will we be when Stella starts school?" "When will we have stability?". What my husband continues to remind me, is that God has never ceased to provide and protect us so far. In fact, he has, instead, showered us with blessings and only given us more reason to remember his promise to never leave or abandon us. Sometimes his blessings are in disguise at first, as his plans are always different than what I picture, yet we continue to be blessed.
A good friend of mine introduced me to the band An Atlas to Follow. They have a song that I am in love with. Its called "I'll call this home". A major theme that God keeps bringing to the forefront of my mind is this idea of home being my family. If home is where the heart is, then home is where my family is, and I am grateful that his name is Danny.
