Fermata



Being married for 2+ years doesn’t seem like a long time.  Eric and I only dated for 6 months before we got married.  Some would call us crazy.  Some would call us stupid.  I would call it adventurous and we found love on God’s terms.  I would call our 2+ years victorious!  2015 allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone.  Within my marriage and within myself.

You see, what I’ve realized and learned in 2 years, many people don’t in 10 or 20 years.  I’ve realized that we’re instruments and our song has already been orchestrated.  We’re invested in our song and the whole picture.  It's hard.  It requires work, patience, and trust, but it's worth it.  

Our song thus far has been made up of many things.  There are crescendos and decrescendos.  We had to repeat sections after learning from each other.  And we pause or fermata (indicating that the note should be prolonged beyond it’s normal duration or note value & it is held up to the discretion of the performer or conductor).  This grand pause reminds me that this song or note is meant to be played for eternity.

We each have our own song.  My notes have been off-key in the past.  I couldn’t get the beat right.  We've all been broken. 

Cue Eric and his entrance into my song.  Perfect timing, God’s timing.  As a whole piece, it has come together beautifully and is continuously unfolding. 


Oh, I'm on your side
Hey, I'm on your side

Always hold true
I will always stay with you
Yeah, you always hold true
I will always stay with you
