Wow I am so inconsistent with this thing :) Oh well, better than nothing I guess. I really do hope to have more time soon. Once everything slows down a bit. I won't have school or a wedding to plan anymore so I assume it will slow down, but... I always say that and then get crazy busy somehow. I guess I just like to stay busy and always be doing something.
Anyhow, I was just talking with my Father. It had been a while since I done that too sadly :(. I didn't know what exactly to pray for so I just started by thanking Him for all that I could think of. I'm pretty sure I could never think of it all because there's just way too much, but I stopped when I realized and got very excited that I am getting married very soon! I thanked God for providing me a wonderful, Godly man to spend the rest of my life with. I then thanked Him for just the blessing of a girlish dream coming true-getting married. I began thinking about my view on marriage and what I always wanted ever since I was young. I just wanted to be married to a wonderful, loving man and a "happily ever after" story. I realized all of a sudden how much God had spared me from, even when, at the time, I thought it was the best for me. I felt suddenly overwhelmed with gratitude. My eyes are opened and I see that Jesus is true life and happiness. God has given me the best thing that has ever happened to me. He has already saved me and adopted me and is now showering me with love and blessings. I'm so undeserved. What wonderful grace.
I love you my Lord, my God. I surrender all and invite You to use me for Your great and wonderful purposes. Please also use this marriage for the advancement of Your Kingdom and for Your glory. Thanks You for forgiveness, for redemption, for life, for freedom in You, and for Your righteousness freely given. I am always and will forever be amazed at your mighty and loving hand.
~Ephesians 1:3
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ."
