Michelle Obama

Wow!
I am so proud of our First Lady Michelle Obama. After viewing some of the interviews she did during the campaign, I was struck by her admission that she had thought about leaving President Obama (before he was president).

Her reason was all too familiar. The road he was taking did not match up with that she had in her head. She was looking for a man who was going to come home for dinner every night. She wasn't too sure about the running for President thing either, but she hung in their. She got to have her prince.

So many of us miss our blessing because the road to married bliss in our heads, does not match up with that of our spouses. This can be for various reasons, but most often because we do not communicate our thoughts, wants, and needs. Or, when we do, we do not do so in an appropriate manner.

Whatever led First Lady Obama to the right conclusion, only she knows. I know I am glad she was able to get out of the way and claim God's will for her marriage and herself to be loved by her man, and now her country.
