A New Normal

As wedding plans continue, Tuck and I's next big step is trying to figure out catering.  In this process, we've been less than impressed with the vegetarian options that are out there, and surprisingly, this has been a bigger issue for Tuck (the carnivore in the relationship =)) then it has been for me.  A recent conversation on this issue went something like this:
S: "Tuck, it's okay; I can just eat the side dishes."
T: "No.  You're not going to have food you can't eat at your own wedding.  We'll find a veggie option."
S: "Babe, I'm used to it though; it's not a big deal."
T: "Just because you're used to it doesn't mean it's right."

Mmmm, truth right there.  Just because this is how life's always been, doesn't mean it's right, nor does it mean it has to continue that way.  Just because I've accepted a lifestyle as normal, doesn't mean it's just.  Yeah, I'm talking about more than just meat at this point.  =)  I'm continually amazed by God's perfect provision, by the gift of Tuck's compassion and protection, and with how God continues to patiently teach me.  And I'm excited to live a life in love, truth, and justice, if not in this world, then someday.  =)  To God be the glory, now and forever!

Have a blessed week!
