Widowhood. Single parenthood. Dating after marriage. As of fourteen months ago, none of these had ever crossed my brain as possible scenarios. Death was the easy part. I’ve lost friends and family and I had tools to navigate those feelings. Whatever pieces I was lacking, Mary left me. She left me with an experience of God’s unending love that wins every battle I get myself into.
I still find myself fumbling around in the dark. I’ve pushed myself out of the comfortable places and tried new things, met new people. It is energizing, but I never know when one of these new paths will lead me into darker woods. That’s the excitement, emotional risk-taking with grander bets. I’ve lost big gambles, but when the bankroll is Love, my supply can be unlimited.
Have a God blessed day,
Jason
