We Still Have Something in Common

My husband and I still have something in common. I've been wondering, considering we are living dual lives. He has a law school life that I know very little about. I have a home life that he understands minimally. We come together to "do life" as a team for brief evening hours and occasionally on weekends. These parallel lives have caused me to wonder more than once, "Will I even KNOW this person when law school is finished?"

I probably don't need to worry. (Okay. I do NOT need to worry. I'll choose to spend my time praying instead!) We ARE still a great team. And while he is being challenged and experiencing growth, I feel that I'm also being sifted (at home, with JuicePlus+, in relationships). And it's for good.

So, these are the reasons why I found today divinely ironic. God was good enough to allow me to see that Braden and I are still one. In the exact same hour of the afternoon, my Darling Husband was giving his first oral argument (which is a very big deal) of law school, and I was presenting my own case for replacement windows to the Historic Review Committee of the city of Lynchburg. He faced 3 judges; I had 7. We both had microphones and notes. I had pictures. And boys.

We were both keyed up; this was the big deal of the day (or the week even!). He supposedly did great. (I believe him!) I had a definitive okay to proceed with the new windows. So it was a good afternoon. He says I win, then (because I had more people to present to).

I say. . . what happens, then, when we're arguing against each other?! And, at least we still have things in common. =) Doesn't God give us great reasons to smile?
