Never Enough - Faith & Grace

(This post is part of a Tale of Humility in our Honeymoon Saga. If you'd like to start at the beginning read this post and then this one .) Well the moment of truth had arrived. I don't exactly remember how I told my husband we may have to begin the first day of our honeymoon with shopping BEFORE we start our 7 hour drive to the beach....He is a very easy going guy, so there was no real ruckus. - Well, except for the pit of my stomach which was rumbling with something much heavier than butterflies as we walked to the car.

Alright, so we make it to our hotel room and I'm going to blame the fatigue from the day no the entire wedding week! but ya'll I took my overnight bag to the bathroom and what do I start looking for... yep! my ...

“Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12 Okay ya’ll… you haven’t seen a post as raw as this one yet… at least not recently. If you’re a glamourous girl who doesn’t run out to get milk or brownie mix without your make up done and every hair in place this post may make you queasy… If perhaps, you’re on the opposite end of the perspective and are a little more casual when it comes to your physical appearance please don’t leave yet either! Every woman is going to be able to relate to some portion in this tale... I have not yet shared details about my life over the last 7 months as I took a break from blogging to decide if this was a me thing or a God thing (More on that in another post soon). I do want to share I AM recently, happily married. While there are so many wonderful stories I can’t wait to share with you, there is one that must be told now! (Plus, it ...
