Then He Came Home

6.8.15

A day that goes down in the history books as God being victorious. It was finished. The fight was won. One this day Tony Capuano showed up to our home for a “shower”. Well, 8 hours, a whole lotta tears, and some unexpected kisses later, Tony left our home a little disoriented and a whole lotta confused. We talked for hours and our lives were full of so many true similarities! For me, it was comical and sweet because I could see why God was working so hard to keep us together. Our passions were true, crazily similar, and we were both very strong individually. There was a calm strength between us and a whole lot of new found respect, and there was connection. That comes from history, I know, but this was deeper somehow. I sat and watched as my husband told me about his dreams and fears. I sat in true amazement of my Father as this this once hardened man had tears streaming down his face. He was motivated to do so many good things just as I was! However his motivation was fear. He laid on my couch crying telling me he was deathly afraid of not doing good. I sat smiling and INTERNALLY SCREAMING PRAISES TO HEAVEN! As we finally had the most honest and true conversation. Not one where I just bared MY soul, but where he also shared. One where he WANTED to know my opinion and I could tell he could actually hear what was going on in my heart. The blinders were falling off his eyes! AH JESUS!!!! There was a light on internally and i could FEEL it with everything in me. God broke down walls. I think Tony was more surprised than anyone. You see, I had been expecting this day to happen for just about a year now.This day had been prayed for by 100’s for over a year.  I had been clinging to the promise that this would happen for such a long time that I knew it would come. THE MOMENT WAS HAPPENING!

So Tony left that evening and that is how our new dating relationship began. He had to come over to use the “shower” and left with an enormous Holy Spirit encounter and a new, strange, attraction toward the light and life he saw in me. Thats Jesus. He was working a miracle and it happened right in my home!

Later, Tony would finally admit that he woke up that morning and there was a weird draw to see me. He said he just knew he had to see me so he made up and excuse to come over. Oooh Lordy, I love the way you work. You work in beautiful, weird, amazing, and fun ways!

images: This is the verse from that morning. This is me before Tony came over…I was so caught off guard and nervouse.

That is a picture of a groundhog I snapped while Tony was home so I’d always remember that day.

BEST DAY EVER. Well, one of my top 15 from 2015. God has been so good – I have so many amazing days and memories from this year. Ok, this is the number 1 from 2015.
