“You never know what goes on behind closed doors.” It’s so true. We all present what we want to present. Some of us are real. Some of us are not. Either way, truth is truth.
When the weather is nice, I love a night walk. There is something so special about being out in the dark with my people. And often, we can see what other people are doing behind closed doors. There is lots of TV watching. But my favorite scene is when people are sitting around a table talking or playing a game. I love that. It’s such evidence of life and love. It’s evidence of the desire for lots of eye contact and connection.
Some people are proud of what goes on behind their closed doors. I am one of those people. Not because our life is perfect. It definitely isn’t. But because we love each other deeply. Because we are trying to do better and be better.
Most nights, Ryan and I recap. We talk about our successes and failures for that day. There are way too many failures. But as we live this life together, side by side, we remind each other to learn from it all. And to remember what Jesus did for us on the cross. Without Him, all hope is truly lost.
All of that being said, there is something you should know from the inside. Ryan is the most sacrificial person that I know in real life. He gives from the depths of himself every single day. He takes the best care of us. He loves us so big. In all the ways. He serves whenever and wherever he can. He continues to grow in wisdom and compassion. He submits to the Lord’s will and not his own and is drawn closer and closer to his heavenly Father.
Also, because it would be weird not to mention it, the man is hysterical.
