The Day Before

Sitting on the living room floor, with a small lamp on and 48 LED lights laid out in front of me to finish hot-gluing, I pondered on the amazing things God has pulled off, to make this wedding and marriage happen. First off, getting us to begin a relationship was a miracle in itself. After 4 years of "we know we're supposed to only be friends.... forever" and "she/he's definitely not the one for me".... God stepped into the picture and planted feelings and emotions that would forever change our lives. It was in His timing, His way, for His glory. I believe this with all my heart.

I also believe there is a very special, and specific calling by God on our marriage. What is it? I don't know.... yet. But I do know that we were created to love God whole-heartedly, run after Him every single day relentlessly, and spread His gospel passionately. God knew that Jeramy and I's individual efforts to grow the kingdom, when combined, would multiply! I'm SO excited, in my heart, mind, and spirit, to watch this happen. I'm excited to see God continue to do crazy, out-of-the-box things in our lives.

These were just a few of the rush of thoughts that filled my little head, as I stuck fishing line to those LED's with Stacey's awesome glue gun (ok, actually her MOMS... but yeah. ;-)

 It's amazing having so many family in town, and more on their way. Overwhelming would be the right word, actually. To see their love and support of Jeramy and I's life-changing day is so cool. It's just like God to make something crazy like this happen.... we've never had this many family visit Jacksonville, in 10 years!

I've always asked friends, and others, what it feels like the day before your wedding.... time and time again they'd tell me they just couldn't describe it, and I was always bummed out. I just wanted to know. Well, now it's my turn, and I know. Unfortunately... I just can't describe it in words :-) If I had to muster up a word it would be SURREAL. Literally. Surreal. Everything that has happened up to this day is a result of the powerful hand of God. And I know, TOMORROW, His hand will be on us and His presence will be so thick in that room, as we commit our lives, hearts, and love, to each other forever.

Here's to a day of decorating. Might I add, I just LOVE decorating :-)

Just one more day on this journey to the altar.... oh yeah!
