Oh my word, guys! I can hardly believe it! This time last year I was job hunting, praying that I would find something that would keep me in this new town. And today, I am picking up my wedding dress! Could you have imagined it? I certainly couldn't have! God is incredible!
So, my last post was not the typical wedding preparation post. I get that. Since I wrote that post I have been doing even more praying and I know that y'all have as well. Thank you! I began praying very specifically for God to relieve the anxiety, the over analyzing, and the attacks for just a couple of weeks so that I could actually have joy and be excited again. So that I could revel in the last few days leading up to my wedding and have the anticipation and hope and joy that every bride is supposed to feel! This is the beginning of a new stage in our lives and this is the beginning of something special and ordained by God. Everything is done for our good. Sometimes we can see it and sometimes we can't and this is the time that I should be able to revel in tasting and seeing that the Lord is good. I want to thank y'all for your prayers! They have been felt and I am happy to report have been answered! God has seen fit to allow me the joy that this time warrants and I have been loving these last few days. I won't lie and say that I don't still have bad days. But they are fewer and farther between now and the excitement and anticipation is palpable!
We have started pre-marital counseling and that has been invaluable even just the 2 sessions we have had so far. It is wonderful having a pastor who is objective that can look at our relationship and encourage the strengths and warn us against pitfalls. I think that has also been very influential in reminding me just how good this is.
I have pretty much confirmed everything with everybody. I am in the process of making final payments and what not. Everything is going very smoothly. It is an odd sensation to know that the wedding is only 2 weeks away. I keep thinking I am doing everything WAY to early but NOPE! It is about time I got cracking on all the finishing details!
Please keep the prayers coming! Pray that everything will go smoothly, that the joy will remain, that everyone will travel safely, and that our marriage would be one that people look at and see Christ. Also pray for my sanity. Between church responsibilities, work, wedding, and countless other little things I need as much mental fortitude as I can get. Much love to all! I will try to post again before the wedding but I really can't make any promises, haha!
