Life’s Changes
Saturday (06.06.09) I will be Mrs. Thompson…why am I nervous?! Is it that I don’t have any examples of what a healthy marriage is supposed to reflect? Is it that I am giving up my freedom to think about me first and now put my husband at the center of my thoughts?! I never realized how bad I would want my family and friends to be physically present with me as I take the life long vows and join as one union with my husband when I decided to go to Vegas. I SOOOO want them there. I am extremely overwhelmed but in a good way.
With all this said – this afternoon as I awoke for a nap I semi-questioned God. I said God, I have picked out my dress alone, packed alone, and will be getting married alone (meaning my family and friends won’t be physically there) why is that? Just as simple as I was breathing and thinking its like He said “I am here with you and that’s all that matters”. I felt so bad! Here He has blessed me beyond reason and measure. He has blessed me with a WONDERFUL soon-to-be husband. He is everything I prayed for and more and I had the nerve to want more for the wedding day. Not only will my friends and family be with me in my heart, they will also be able to view it via internet…LIVE! What more do I want?! He said its not about the wedding day its about the marriage!
I immediately repented for my thoughts and actions and thanked Him for His goodness and mercy. He also reminded me that I could find every example I need to be a good wife by reading His word and allowing Him to be the center of our marriage. He will take care of it. What He puts together will last and I believe that. So as I embark on a new journey I say to you my sisters that as God blesses you, stay humble and trust that He is in control. Until next time…
Be Blessed

Congratulations! It is good to know that your focus is on the marriage and not just a ceremony. May your lives become one and you have many happy years together.
