...introvert who is stepping WAY outside the safety of his box. 
My wife has been on here for months now. She's been relatively involved and posted/commented regularly. Her name is Somshine and I'm her husband. Happily so and truly blessed to have her as my wife. She's been encouraged by others on here...from their words of wisdom and comfort and love. For that, I am grateful. Especially so, because at times, it feels as though I cannot help in any way with some of the things she's feeling and experiencing. It's a truly humbling place to be. So I turn her over to God and pray for her. And as there aren't friends, family, or brothers and sisters she can talk to aside from me and my prospective wife, it has been nice to see her have this to be able to talk and share and ask questions of like-minded believers.
I'm close to marrying another wonderful woman, and well....that's not easy for any of us, especially my beloved Sonshine. Even with it being the direction I feel God is leading, it's hard. It is challenging and testing all of us to our very core. And to be completely honest, it is absolutely terrifying! I'm scared beyond belief and could use all the help I can get.
I KNOW that there is a great blessing to fellowship...to believers joining together in conversation, prayer, comfort, and sharing one another's burdens. In being open and honest and seeking advice and insight from others believers, especially ones who have experience. That being said, its VERY hard for me. I don't like being open and sharing my life or details with but a VERY select few. It does not come easy to me. I'm very protective and guarded. Even more so with the family God has trusted me with. I don't do Facebook. Have NEVER read a blog or posted on a forum, let alone even visited on one. Due to her activity on here and her sharing things during our conversations, I've been peeping around for a little while, reading posts and comments. That turned into creating an account. That was about where it was going to stay until we've taken another step in the direction of another woman being added to our family as my wife. I see the benefit and wisdom of this forum. I see how God can use it and it can help us and we could maybe help others someday. Even though I see that, I still wouldn't get involved and just stay back on the sidelines. And then Somshine told me that she'd be encouraged by posting, or just an introduction. Soooo....here it is. It's not the only reason, but certainly the kick in the butt I needed to get me past myself and venture outside my box...where I know God wants me to go.
Not sure what this looks like for me. How much you'll see me posting and commenting and such. I'm more of a private message kind of guy (which I can't seem to figure out how to do...HAHA!)...but here I am! Here's my introduction. It's nice to meet you!
