Tom and I had our second to last marriage counseling session yesterday, the invitations are out and rsvp's are flooding in, most of the details are decided we just have to finalize, gifts are starting to come and thank-you notes are heading out, Tom and I are packing all of our belongings, getting ready to move, today I have my final gown fitting. We are preparing to get married.
The next three weeks of my life are going to be a busy blur, then Tom and I will hop on a cruise and learn to relax again. Before we get to the cruise though, this week will be a scramble to get my room packed and the wedding plans mostly finished. Saturday, Tom, our parents and I will be moving things into our apartment. Sunday, my brother and I are getting baptized. Next week we will be preparing for family and finishing last minute wedding details. On Thursday of next week, family begins to come. The week before the wedding is packed with bachelorette party, family outings, bridesmaid luncheon, rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. I can't wait.
Within all the noise and commotion, Tom and I are preparing to BE married. We are praying and reading and learning about what it is to be a godly couple and wife and husband. We are trying to spend time alone with one another to discuss roles and expectations and to learn who the other person is and how they need to be loved.
Please pray for us. Pray that God would fill us with his Holy Spirit, would guide us and give us His wisdom. That He would use us for His glory and for reaching others and spreading the kingdom. Pray that the wedding itself would be a witness to our unbelieving friends and family. Pray that our marriage would be an example for years to come of Christ and the church.
So excited!
Grace is HERE!!!
