Ten years ago today, Aaron and I packed up all of our belongings (which didn't amount ot much), strapped in our 6 month old baby Esteban, and started driving toward Texas. We had never been in Texas. We didn't know anybody. We had no jobs. We had an apartment ready that we had never seen. All we had was the faith we could muster and the knowledge that the Lord wanted us to live here.
A decade is a long time. It is 1/3 of our lives. We have had incredible experiences. They have molded us into the people we are today. Our marriage is strong, there is something to be said about having only each other to turn to. We have seen miracles time and time again. For us, this experience was necessary. Maybe, we'll never know all the reasons why. Maybe there are too many to count.
Now, it's time to leave. It's hard to say good-bye. I'm not sure what the future holds, but Texas has taught me an important principal: if you trust in the Lord and strive to do His will, everything will be okay and you'll be a better person for the journey.
