The day is coming. The day when grown men cry. When people travel from distant lands. The day when reality sets in. The day when little girls dreams come true... It's the wedding day. Coming soon to a church near you!
My wedding is coming up in a week and as I pack my bags and get ready to move to the foreign country of Mississippi, I feel like Esther (of the Bible). She was prepared for almost a year to go to a new place, with a new culture, to live with a man she hardly knew. I definitely know Jacob better than she knew the king, but as every married couple has pointed out "you think you know the person you're marrying, until you marry them". There is excitement to be stepping into this new phase in life, but sadness that I'll never return to my parents home single. I told God I'd go wherever he sent me, I wish I'd known before that it included Mississippi, but since I'll be with my best friend, I know I will grow to enjoy it.
Everything is prepared as much as it can be, and I know it won't be according to my dreams in every way, but I'll marry the man I love in front of the people I love and that's what will matter. Thank you to all those who helped make this happen, who contributed/ will contribute to our trip to Guatemala and thanks be to God who has walked with me all these years and will never leave me nor forsake me.
