Renew, refresh, revamp, repeat!

My bestie, Tasha, and I were in a night club. The music was bumping but it was slowly getting crowded. I looked toward VIP and there was this guy that was smiling and charming the ladies. as we walked closer to the section he looked directly at us. I shout mouthed to Tasha, "I know him! that's Coop's guy." Coop is a good friend of mine who has connections galore. I remembered seeing a dude that looked like Charles at one of those epic parties in Tally. I decided to approach him asking him if he knew Coop. Charles smiled big and was like "Yea yea, put your number in my phone." I was like ok cool! ((I was thinking free access to VIP all the time.)) He said, " where's your phone?" I gave to him not tripping because most of the club promoters, i had their number. So we (Tasha and I) partied till our feet ached in VIP for free and drank forfree. in my book the night was a success. However as the club ended, Charles text me then called me to make sure I made to my car safely. (My thoughts, that's sweet of Coops friend, i didn't even know his name.) it wasn't until the next day when he called me and I realized that he was NOT her homeboy. (Played!) Now listening to him, he makes it seem like i was a lusty musty broad. Don't fall for it! 😂😂

It's crazy because Charles and I were suppose to renew year 5, but our little Cassady came then. It worked out perfectly though because we have really faced pitfalls, storms and valleys after year 5. I think there were several times where we wanted to start over and do it all over. The fall shed the leaves of life and as season after season you either grow stronger or drift farther. At one point for several years we drifted. trying to maintain a facade but fading into the staleness of day to day. It was in year 8 that our worst hit. we had to choose us. It propelled us into the heavy questions and reset us into the journey of falling more in love. Now in year 9I can say that I understand why those trials were there. It helped burn pride and pushed us to be more accountable to each other and most importantly to God. So yes we're celebrating this reset of love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, forgiveness and faithfulness. These are what we need in order to have a healthy marriage. So in essence WE NEED GODS presence. Cheers to life long learning of how to love others like Christ loved us.
