We Fosters met for the very first time 5 years ago today, back when we were a Foster and a Hale, at J&B Coffee (even though neither of us likes coffee). It was all business. If someone had told me later, "You're going to marry that guy," I would have laughed in their face out of sheer confusion. I wasn't even thinking about dating. I just wanted to survive grad school and getting Redeemer up and running.
But you know what grace of God got me through that season? Collin. Remembering that life was a lot bigger than the TTUHSC Speech, Language, and Hearing Department. Laughing at his ridiculousness. Talking about real, eternal things in the midst of 7am chicken biscuits or whatever the setting might be. You know what grace still gets me through the long days and nights of parenthood? Collin. His crazy antics still make me laugh late into the night, and he still talks about real, eternal things with more people than anyone else I know.
Thanks, Jesus. I sure do love that man.
