Bravery is to do what must be done…
Luv Stories of Maui Marital Bliss.
Bravery is to do what must be done…
Despite the pain.
Grace is how we flow with it.
I met Shane at Club Metro when I was 21.
There was something about him that I was drawn too.
The white pants? The white hat? I don’t know.
I approached him and said he was hot,
and he asked me to go to a party in Apple Valley.
Me being from the beach,
I had no idea where the hell that was.
I declined.
A year later I see him again at Incahoots,
not realizing it was the same guy.
I tried to get his attention,
but
he was too busy stacking beer cans.
I remember us bumping into each other and
him looking down at me and saying hi.
We went on our own ways.
Fast forward to 2001,
when I was at the Pen in Huntington Beach and …
this guy walks in.
I thought he was cute,
but
he was so preoccupied with a phone call we never spoke.
One day
when I was working at the Pen,
a mutual friend Kenny said that he had a friend
who thought I was cute.
He called him on the phone it was Shane.
He asked me out.
We went on our first date and not realizing
it was the same guy I kept bumping into.
We almost didn’t have a second date because
I thought he had farted in my new car
and it smelled so bad. I had to ask.
It was the sewer plant we had just drove by.
He thought it was me.
😮
We dated for a few months, and I moved in with him.
I came home one day and asked if he wanted to get married.
He said yes,
just tell him when.
We were so broke we didn’t have rings.
We got some cheap name rings at Halloween Haunt at Knotts.
We had our wedding planned in May of 2003.
But something big was about too happen.
I found out I was pregnant on Valentines Day 2003.
We got married May 4 2003.
The first 2 years of our marriage were brutal.
New baby, Shane in the apprenticeship as an electrical Lineman.
We almost called it quits.
He had claimed Bankruptcy in these 2 years as well.
Shane had been a professional baseball player
but
got an injury that dashed those dreams.
In the past 14 years,
we have lost our home, been through a recession,
been audited by the IRS for $100,000.
Shane also was diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic and
has almost lost his life 2x.
We have 2 boys Ryker and Gunnar 14 & 4.
They are the light of our lives.
Everything we do is for them.
Shane is my glue that keeps me together.
He is my souls mate.
We were meant to be together,
God brought us together for a reason.
He’s my best friend, the love of my life.
Every day that goes by I pray that the lord watches over him.
I get scared I am going to lose him.
He has one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
He is a power lineman.
He also has Type 1 diabetes.
That is a horrible disease.
They don’t know why he got it.
He exercises every day, he is a athlete, eats healthy.
I don’t sleep very well at night because I worry he won’t wake up.
On this day we will renewing our vows,
it is his birthday too. 40.
I want 40 more years with him.
Let me know if you need anymore
A LUV STORY BLESSING… OF GRACE & BRAVERY
God and the Great Mystery of the Universe
created a match made in Heaven…
Although it seems to have taken a number of random chance meetings
Before you both Awoke to the Divinity of Love
that the Universe had moved Heaven and Earth
to set up those first encounters
😉
It has been stated by Enlightened Saints and Sages, that:
“Everything that Has Happened… Had to.”
If it happened,
there was some form of Divinity within the experience.
Our most painful challenges become
our most Divine Doors towards Transcendence.
Not only do we overcome that challenge,
the fear it had created,
now Transcends into a Confidence of accomplishment.
Another profound insight gained is Compassion.
Through your experience in the school of hard knocks…
You really know how it feels…
You also really know that it can be overcome…
This will help you relate to all others, especially your Loved ones…
Connecting Deeper with sincere compassion and
the confidence to help Inspire others
to see their challenges through.
With the Transcendence of challenges, one also receives…
A refreshing appreciation for the beauty of ‘the moment’.
You get firsthand experience of how precious each moment is.
To enjoy the passing of time is essential to our Being.
To “Be” in the moment…
Is a common expression, but for most,
unless they have had to really deal with a few major challenges…
they will generally lack this passion and gratitude
for the precious present moment.
The goal in deep spiritual contemplation…
Is to ‘rest in the Blissful nature of our True Being’…
To realize our complete and whole ‘Being’
To fully feel from your core that
Everything is as it should be.
And then
melt away in the contentedness of the moment…
Allowing that moment to be the eternal Bliss it already is…
And thus…
The ever-present moment will be filled with the contentedness that…
Everything is Always Already Alright
😉
And when we can’t always see the Divinity within ourselves
Or
we are troubled by something…
Our Soulmate and Loved ones are there to remind us of
what really matters…
Also,
in a Spiritual Path or what seems to be our ‘Life’s Journey’…
It is encouraged to find that place ‘within’
that one can abide in a contentedness
that is not affected by materialistic or conceptual issues.
… These Spiritual pursuits could take most of one’s life… or more.
But
Right now, in the here and now
You can relax and abide in the cradle of your Soulmate’s Being.
Rest in the Grace of Marital Bliss…
And may this Bliss in your Ever-Present Moment…
And then your will have,
Eternal Marital Bliss
😉
