Jewells of Thought

This word has been in my head and been typed many times in articles. It was a challenge for me even as I tried to focus hard and prepare this WordPress Site for what at the time I was hoping to do copywriting or copyediting, of course that didn’t happen. Life happened to me… again.

It is to my utter astonishment that God has allowed me the opportunity to now write my 900th article on this platform. Last year I was dealing with some issues as I turned back to writing once again. My safe haven and the calling that God has obviously given me, otherwise I would not be able to do this myself. Something I also cannot so easily walk away from now.

Honestly I have had some high viewership on this big whatever hundredth articles and their topics. However, last night when I realized how close I was trying to place a topic on this was difficult. I was blank. Last night Bryan and I had another challenging exchange. All I could think of was the challenges we have faced together in the past 3 years, but other challenges I have dealt with here with his messages in real time.

One of those challenges is family in general. We both have said things and unfortunately our reactions are much different than we expected from the other one. Essentially I say something and he reacts or vice versa. I have told him more than once all that is needed is for him to just soundly kiss me and some of this could be settled without any hoopla. If only it was that simple with the miles in between us. Challenges have two ways out; the cowards way and the facing of it whatever happens together.

I believe we have matured together over these years; we talk things out a lot more. Communication is all we have right now. I didn’t even think this was possible last Christmas and then around March. Our challenges have brought us so much closer. Succeeding doesn’t breed character as much as facing challenges and failure in life does.

My first article was created after what I believed was a failure having to make a decision between my job and my health. No matter how necessary it was for my health it still felt like a failure, but it brought me to my first post on either March 22nd or 23rd last year. It was very similar to how Bryan and I met. I was a news junkie on Telegram. Something I wouldn’t have even been on if January 6th had not happened. From my experience online dating and relationships were not for me. God has truly surprised me in this relationship when I was least expecting to be found or pursued in such a way.

Our challenges have deepened this understanding between us. I am still amazed at what has unfolded in our lives from being in this relationship. The Lord is still revealing how wonderful this man is in so many ways to me since I accepted the challenge of us.
