On August 23, 2015, my groom and I exchanged vows. I had it all planned: we would be married for 2 years before starting our family, and during that time I would give my all to being the Proverbs 31 wife my mother displayed before me. I would cook dinner every night, make our first house a home, tend to my husband’s every need, and continue to excel in my career. I had my timeline, but how often do we forget the Lord is really in control?

One month and one day after our wedding day, my mother-in-law suddenly passed away.
