AJ, That IS exactly how I feel. Love is never easy but always a simple choice.
As for the black eye, I wish it was some epic damsel in distress story - but the truth is that I'm a model tall basketball player who big burly girls try to push around down in the paint.
They were aggressive , I was competitive. I will not move when a girl charges at me for the lay-up... but an elbow to the face.. ouch!
The more interesting stories are the ones when I'm at the mall or grocery store.. and they way people look at me.. and whisper.
Because you know if a woman has a black eye - it must mean she either got in an intense b!tch fight.. or her man beats her??
Either way it's a fun story and one I enjoy telling.
Probably one I will tell x over tea today..
I'm nervous but confident in the man upstairs.
Your support and prayers have been amazing!
Thank you!

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
