Support

So, here's what's on my mind today:

Sometimes, when Julio and I are talking about plans for the future (hypothetically, because God taught me not to plan too far ahead), I get irritated or upset with some of the things he talks about wanting to do. This is only because I feel if we have already set one path, I don't really want to stray from it and I'm afraid adding something new to the mix will mess those plans up. So, sometimes I might say something to him about how I feel, other times I will just sit and stew on it. I think another part of it is I am afraid of going off course and, as a result, not knowing the outcome.

But something I have come to learn (after many hard lessons) is that whatever "plans" we make, if they are not God's will for us, it won't happen. I also know that it is my responsibility to support my husband. Yes, I will let him know my concerns and even fears, I will ask questions about things that he might not of even thought of, therefore giving him something to chew on. But ultimately, I will support his decision. That is part of my role as his wife. I know that he would never make a decision to harm our family, and he will always run things by me to see what I think.

I guess that I have this ideal picture in my head of what I want for our family and if I think something threatens that ideal, then I want nothing to do with it because it scares me. So, I need to let go and let God, and trust that God will lead Julio to make the right decision ultimately.

That is my thought for the day!
