The past couple of weeks have been full of lessons. I have learned that sometimes things are not as big of a deal as I think they are at first. If I just trust the Lord, this usually will become evident in due time. Tom and I are continuing to learn what marriage is and how it was created and designed by and for the Lord. We are learning how we will fit together as a married couple and also how we may not, but will have to learn to work together. And, we are also learning that there are many things we cannot prepare for and just have to trust the Lord with our future. I have also been learning lots of math. School has been hard and stressful and I have been studying a lot and cramming a lot into my head and staring at pages of notes until I understand them. However, the end of the semester is coming quickly.
Yesterday a couple of friends threw Tom and I a surprise wedding shower. It was a lot of fun. It was thrown by a couple who is getting married the day after Tom and I (Phillip and Erin), so our friends turned it around on them and got presents for both of us. It was humbling to see all these people take time to come and make us feel special. It made us realize the friends we have, even though we haven't known them for very long. The love in the body of Christ is so strong.
