School is out and I am ready for an adventure this summer. I have never taken an overnight, out-of-state trip by myself. My husband has always accompanied me and before we were separated he wouldn't have allowed me to do this. I am a little apprehensive, but I will be careful and let folks know where I am along the way. What I know most of all is that God will be with me every step of the way, every mile. He will show me what He wants me to learn during this adventure and I will return richer for it! I had said to a friend that if something happened to me I knew where I was going and wasn't scared. She said I hadn't fulfilled God's destiny for me yet. I agree...there are so many more things God has planned for me. That I can feel. Each moment I realize that God has so many wonderful, awesome things planned for me, I feel such excitement and glee. I know the enemy will continue to fight me, but my Lord and I will press on, together, through the storms.

About two weeks ago God lead me to have a discussion with my husband about things I can accept and things I cannot. I was scared to have this discussion with him because the enemy kept placing in my mind that stating my needs and my limits would force my husband to choose to stay away. But, God knew differently. He knew that if I didn't state my needs and limits that a reconciliation not keep me true to myself. Is a reconciliation coming? I don't know, but I feel such peace now thanks to the love of my Lord. I love what Joyce Meyer says, "I may not be where I need to be but thank God I'm not where I used to be and I will enjoy me right here in the middle."
