God Bless my Broken Road

The weather here in Wisconsin is amazing right now. It was 93 yesterday and at noon today it was 85, too hot for some but I love it!! Weather permitting I go out and walk over my lunch break, so of course, I walked today. I also take my ipod because I don't enjoy walking as much without it! I listen to all kinds of music; Christian, rock, country and even a little rap (yep, its true). When I walk I talk to Jesus and always ask for a song to inspire me for the day. Most of the time I get an amazing Christian song that gets me though the rest of my day but today....it was Country. Rascal Flatts, God bless the broken road. If you don't know the song, I'll post it at the end of this blog. This song reminds me of my Thomas. I think of all the wrongs I had to go through to me to where I am today, in the right place, the place that I was meant to be. Thomas and I have been together for 10 years now (married 9 in August) and he has given me things that I never imagined for myself or my daughter. He made us a family and took on responsibilities that he had never known before. When we were dating he once told me, "Callie, I want to show you the world" I thought to myself....what a lame pick up line!! However, only six month after we were married we packed up the little house in Bremerton, WA and moved across the ocean and lived in Europe for 3 1/2 amazing years. Before coming back home he gave me our 1st beautiful son and once we were back, living in Minnesota he gave me a second!! I signed my name next to his when we bought our first home together, it was something I never dreamed of and now we've done it for a second time! Because of Thomas I was able to start a career in the Government and I strive to please him with all of the accomplishment that I've made over the 8 years of being employed by Uncle Sam. He fights for me when I can fight for myself but has also given me the strength and encouragement to stand up and fight for myself. He has been my rock on some very dark days and don't know where I'd be without him. So, I would like to publicly thank God for all the hard lessons that he has given in my past, my present and my future. God has always taken care of me, I often wonder why I even doubt Him. Because of a Savior who loves and a husband who I love with my whole heart, my life is nothing what I though but everything I had ever hoped for.


Bless The Broken Road Lyrics
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
[Chorus]
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
