We're In This Together

We're In This Together

I'm talking about marriage right? No. I'm talking about ministry. And not in the holy way that people talk about marriage as your ministry, either. I'm talking about at least three rehearsals a week (during the slow season) and, if we're lucky, one service on Sunday. We're rarely that lucky, but I wouldn't trade it.

Rob and I have been serving in ministry together for years. Long before we were an "item" or even friends. I knew Rob as the guy who sang the high notes on solos on Sunday morning and who would always have a role in the large church productions (but would also be seen moving props).

I might be the only one here who previously had a bad relationship and was afraid of getting into a new one. I'm sure that's not your story, but appease me for just a little while and listen to mine.

Trust. That was the thing that was hard for me to do. There was a time period where I like Rob, but I wasn't sure if I could trust him yet. You see, being vulnerable was hard. How could I be expected to let down all my walls and protection for this guy? I had bought into the notion of an independent woman. I didn't need anybody to help me. If I was going to get something or somewhere, no one else was going to be able to claim credit for it. Sistas are doing it for themselves!

How I Got My Man

Let's rewind to about this time in 2013. I was having some of the best experiences of my life. Experiences I still look back on with a smile. I was going to be working with a major recording artist in the official events of the Inauguration weekend. I attended THE Inaugural Ball (which is a crazy funny story between my best friend and I). I joined the Young Adult Choir at FBCG. That first rehearsal I accidentally sat on the alto side of the choir stand. I've been trying to work my way back over there ever since. All that, and yet the relationship between my boyfriend and I was an absolute mess.

There are too many stories than you have time to read
