But there were also mixed in a few moments where the challenges concerning how to reconcile our seemingly different directions and goals in key areas that threw the whole enterprise into question. Was this right? Do our plans for the future align? In those moments, when our paths seemed to diverge a little, it reminded me afresh that this woman was not mine. Not mine to hold. Not mine to take home. We had to continually submit our desires, plans, ambitions, and questions to the Lord.
