Good, Anyway.

1 Corinthians 1:3-6

This past weekend was challenging for me, and wonderful. I traveled with my fiance to visit his grandparents in Arizona. While I was so grateful to be in the warm sun after living in this frigid tundra we call Minnesota, I was unprepared for the amount of patience and grace I needed to make the trip a success.
Well, "unprepared" is maybe not right word. I knew going in that we would be communicating in a new ways that we are not generally used to. I found that I have immense love and feel a lot of protectiveness for my new family. However, there are opinions and practices that are hard for me to agree with, or even find peace with.
So I prayed, and I continue to pray. For their health, their safety, their peace. I did my very best to do good, anyway. Even though I felt frustration, even when I felt annoyance, even when I felt defensive of my beloved fiance; I prayed to God to give me the wisdom and grace to show love anyway. It takes a level of acceptance. This acceptance is possible. For me, it took prayer, and the Lord answered me.

More fun from Glee! Just because. :)
