you

god gave me you for the ups and downs.
god gave me you for the days of doubt.
for when I think I lost my way there are no words to say it's true.
god gave me you.
on my own i'm only half of what I could be. I can't do without you.


lover I love you!!!!!!!

independent

trust; [noun] to have confidence or reliance on somebody or something. or to confidently allow somebody to do something.
i guess I've always had a struggle trusting and relying on other people. i think it's just the way I was built. it's always made more sense to be independent and do everything myself. if something doesn't get done it's my fault. I don't have to redo something that someone else already did because it's been done wrong. sure sometimes it makes life more busy & stressful than it needs to be but i'm a big planner and checking things off make me feel accomplished.
being independent has never been a problem.
but now, now I see what a hinderance the inability to trust is. I think I've gotten better at trusting but I still can't let go completely, I try not to let people close enough to cause pain. there is one man though who I love enough that I let him in. sometimes it's total and complete reliability on him and other times it's 90%. but I can definitely see the lack of ability to trust on my part becoming an issue. so because I want to trust in him & everyone 100% I need your help.
how do I reverse my inability to trust those closest to me? or anyone for that matter?

sincerely
mrs no longer wants to be independent

fishing

this last Monday we spent all day fishing up at mill hollow with a lot of the family! we caught at least 3O fish. and I finally learned how to successfully hook and reel in a fish! we had a fun time hanging out. eating treats. getting some serious rays of sun and venturing around the lake.

the whole process is fun and I love seeing the outcome.
