| The man of my dreams... | | |
| I went back and read through all my old Xanga entries and goodness... I'm behind! Maybe not behind... more like DISTRACTED. My life has changed so much in the last few years - some good changes, some not so good. I'm happy with where God has led me but I'm a little unhappy with myself and how I've stepped up and tried to take the controller of my life. ( what am I thinking? I've never been good at video games! ) My weakness is worry. Worry and control, I suppose. Lately it's been about this thing called my wedding!  Of course I'm worried and stressed and going out of my mind. But God has been frequently trying to pull me aside from all of it and open my eyes. So what if there is a possibility of a blizzard the day of my wedding, so what if I don't have a reception site 4 months until my wedding, so what if the bridal party is not yet finalized, so what all the addresses are still not all together, SO WHAT... IT'S NOT WHAT IT'S ABOUT! None of that matters. Well, in a way - yes...but if it's not perfect - SO WHAT. My main focus and concern should be the fact that the man of my dreams, the man God made just for me , and myself will stand in front of all our family and friends and make a promise to God that we will always always love each other. No matter if we have to do it outside in the snow! It's not the location, it's not the food, it's not that fact that guests may have to walk in the cold for a few seconds, it's not if my dress might not be the right shade.... Nope.  There are times when I have to step back, take a deep breath and remember this. It's hard. You get caught up in all the planning and you get a little crazy like. But God is gracious and He allows me to worry a little just to the point right when I remember "ha! what am I doing? This is out of my control...God's got it all finish before I have even thought of it!" How incredible. I have slacked a lot of allowing God to have my worries and my plans, but this wedding has really challenged me and allowed me to see where God is trying to strengthen me. I am so blessed. We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at
fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able
to keep his whole body in check.

sheer evidence of the

| Wow...it's been FOREVER...here's a few updates... I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!! December 29th 2007!! I'm currently living in Lexington, South Carolina with Tyler's (my fiance') sister Leah, her husband Patrick, and their little girl Faith! I'm working at a Chiropractors office and working and saving money for the big day! Only 4 months to go... the time has FLOWN by... Prayers are always welcome. We're both learning more about each other and God is teaching us just how hard a marriage will be, but also how AMAZING it will be! I am so blessed to be marrying a man like Tyler... I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love! Jesus looked at them and said,
"With man this is impossible,
but not with God; all things
are possible with God."
Mark 10:27 | | |
| Wow...it's been awhile. The funny thing is...when I got on here to read all the overflowing entries from everyone else...there was only TWO accounts that even came up of people writing on this thing. So maybe I'm not alone  I'm not the only slacker!! | | |
