New Beginnings

On January 28,2008 my relationship began with Charles it was like riding a roller coaster I would get really excited then get scared. It was beautiful he kept me grounded God came first in our relationship and really taught me to pray. I prayed and prayed God is this the man for me although I already knew I was just waiting for our new beginnings to start. On July 28th 2008 Charles sent my daughter in to ask me if he could be her daddy now and she was carrying a rose with an engagement ring inside. I knew he was going to ask me that day but never knew how shocked and ecstatic I would feel. As we started to prepare for our wedding we decided to get married in our church in front of the Christmas tree. I had some ladies from the church help out and asked me how I wanted things done. They were shocked how simple minded I was all I could say is I just want it to look pretty I wasn't a bridezilla  or anything. We had our date set and on December 6th 2008 I became Mrs. Charles Reeves. It was beautiful and felt even better.

After our honeymoon began our real test of times. We have struggled for the 4 years we have been married. We don't fight so that's not what I am talking about it seemed like we could never get ahead or save money. For Charles he felt like less of a man, so I would take a part time job to help out but he couldn't stand for me to work because he loved it when I was home all day and cleaned the house and cooked meals for him. Not to mention I struggled with my sanity working at a mundane job that I hated.

So when my daddy told me he had got Charles a job working with him I was over the moon because he wanted us to live with him for a bit. Daddy just lost his ex-wife they had divorced but he still loved her and she died last November sometime. So I knew daddy needed some company. I knew we would be ok finally financially but never in my mind did I realize how ok we would be. Charles got his first paycheck today what he brought home in two weeks in Louisiana he brought home in one week here.

Today I toast to all you out there that have been struggling remember God continue to love God.  Put him first  and he will open doors that no man can shut. When you least expect it your blessing will fall in your lap and pour out on you like never before. Just one more note Ladies out there if your husband isn't happy at work simply pray to God ask him to bless your husband at work and give him a job where he is happy at. I prayed that prayer for the last 4 years.  Finally God placed my husband where he comes home dirty but with a smile on his face because he loves his job. I hope this blesses you and one day your New Beginnings will make you smile as I am now.
