Since our marriage in September 2014 we have spent more time apart from each other than we have spent together. The strain that this brings on both of us as individuals and as a couple is too extensive to describe. We spend a lot of days wondering if this extended time of separation will affect us in the years to come.
While we have strong reasons to believe that the time of waiting for our proper visa paperwork to get filed is near, we find these last few weeks/months to be especially challenging. Days spent with my life on hold become tiring. I graduate with my Associate's degree in Psychology from Liberty University Online in May of this year. I am ecstatic to finally be finished with step one of many exciting and hopeful plans I have for our future.
I talk to God every night before falling asleep, asking Him to let us begin our life together again, to give us the opportunity to work on building a strong foundation for our marriage, and faithfully telling Him that He will receive all the glory on the day of Pieter's return to America.
