Blazing our Own Trails
My knight in shining armor and I are humble country folks who live, surrounded by cornfields, in our “little house on the prairie.” We fell in love many moons ago on our 2nd date, a Romantic Riverboat Ride down the Missouri River during our unforgettable first month of courtship!
Although our days of falling in love were really quite magical, almost immediately following our wedding, I experienced the stark contrast of the harsh realities of life. There were overwhelming stresses of work on a small, family owned and operated dairy farm that I was ill prepared for. Just some of our challenges included never enough time and never enough money!
This extremely demanding lifestyle - 24/7/365 - milking the black n whites 3 times a day and the myriad other responsibilities required day in and day out, quickly took their toll on our marriage and shook us to our core. Beneath my anger, I was suffering from a broken heart.
It took a major refiner’s fire to soften my hardened heart and turn towards my husband, like nothing else ever could have. This brought about an attitude adjustment in me, allowing me to learn to put aside my resentment and the negative narration that had been continually replaying in my mind.
Rock bottom will teach you lessons that mountain tops never will.
Through a ton of personally challenging mental work, I discovered how to love my imperfect, but good husband.
Against all odds, we have felt the hand of the Lord provide tender mercies and miracles through the waves of opposition and the vicissitudes of life.
Over the years, we have lovingly referred to ourselves as the “last little broken down wagon on the pioneer trail.”
Chimney Rock, in western Nebraska, was one of the most notable landmarks recorded in emigrant diaries and pioneer journal entries.
Emotions are the life force behind why we do what we do.
The only thing stopping us from achieving our goals and dreams are our fears.
We traveled to Chimney Rock on our sweet, empty nested “Moon over our Honey” pilgrimage.
Before our journey, I had typed up my journal entries from the months of our dating daze.
As I drove along Interstate 80, my hubby read the 48 pages with my original journal entries, describing my feelings about our experiences during the time when Cupid had drawn back his bow to let his golden arrow fly.
Reminiscing and sharing laughter and tender memories brought us right back to where we were reliving those, some long forgotten, memories of events "with all the feels"…rekindling the love between us - like nothing else could have!
What an amazing experience we shared together!
With humble gratitude, we acknowledge that the Lord brought us together and He has healed our marriage!
