Leaning on the Lord....Wedding Woes...but NOT about marriage itself!

Okay, let's be honest...the stress of my impending wedding has hit me hard! This IS incredibly stressful and there's SO much to think about, take care of and remember! My goodness! Granted, in truth, everything that can be taken care of already is. In fact, most of it is already taken care of. But there's things I can't contend with until I actually get there. Cramming everything into like two days, little worrisome. I can't control everything; least of all the weather and/or my fiancee'! He can't control me either, not a good marriage we'd be getting into if that was our point anyway. But, I digress. Let me make it ABUNDANTLY clear that I'm NOT nervous about BEING married...or coming home and being married, or even STAYING married....that I actually am really calm and peaceful about because I know I'm making the right choice! And honestly, if we've made it this far, we're good! The Lord put us together and as long as we do our mutual parts, He'll keep us together! No doubts there! NONE at all! But the GETTING married part...the standing up and proclaiming it and in front of God and everybody! WOW! All the little details, all the tiny things to remember and check off another numerous list. It's getting SO close, I mean really, a week and TWO days! Wow! So, I'm doing what I know best...I'm leaning on the Lord! I'm taking my happy moments and peaceful, joyful moments and THANKING HIM tremendously for them! And I'm taking my nerve-wracking, frustrating, overwhelmed moments and leaning on Him to get me through them! I KNOW in my heart that EVERYTHING will work out beautifully and be absolutely gorgeous--including the weather! I looked at the forecast and it's supposed to be terrific! Yay! I know that God will smile on us all that day. I wish my incoming friends/family incredibly safe and speedy travels! And I wish for me and Colin....the most wonderful, truly joyful, happiest time of our lives! I can't do this without the Lord, though, and so I hope He's listening intently down here. I know I'm not the center of the universe and there are FAR more pressing problems in the world as I embarq upon my wedding....but, Lord, I need You! To keep me calm, to keep me peaceful, to keep me kind and humble. As God is my witness I will NOT turn into a Bridezilla, I WILL treat my friends/family/loved ones with nothing but kindness and respect and gratitude; because they've earned it, because they deserve it and because they truly do mean the world to me! And I will prove to them the humbling effect they've had in my life. And I will be eternally grateful for each and everyone of them. And I'll be eternally grateful to God, for this incredible, beautiful, life-changing, big huge teaching, miraculous experience!!!! So, here we go...my wedding week begins today.....EVERYTHING WILL GO GREAT! (That's what I keep telling myself...wedding jitters, NOT marriage jitters, got it?! Good!) As long as I keep my eyes on the Lord and my heart in His presence, all will shine greatly upon us! Wish me luck and prayers for humility and kindness....because even the greatest person can get stressed and bark at the wrong people at the wrong time...I'll do my best not to do that. Here we go.....God Bless Us Everyone!

In Light N' Love,
