he completes me <3

hello!

so, i've been planning a wedding lately. i'm kinda stressed already (and i just started). i was reading my devotions this morning and it was talking about how God doesn't necessarily call those who are thoroughly equipped to do a task. that it's a matter of relying on Him to equip you and to guide you and not about YOU doing it yourself.

it got me thinking about how much (or little) i have relied on Him concerning this wedding. Dan and i have been doing devotions lately and we strive to keep God at the center of our relationship, but have we asked Him to be the center of our wedding too?

i felt as if i should be able to plan this whole thing - after all, both my sisters planned their weddings. i need to remember, though, that God has brought us together and He will continue to guide us and strengthen us as we grow together in Him. worry and stress do nothing to help. we will praise God in a thanksgiving service of our wedding, but we also need to glorify Him in this time of planning.

i praise and thank Him every day for Dan <3 i couldn't have imagined a man so perfect for me. you know that cheesy line from 'jerry mcguire' the whole 'you complete me' line? yeah... no matter how cheesy (as some of you have experienced) it's so true. (not that tom cruise completes me, because that's DEFINITELY not true!) but dan does. he was made just for me. like a glove, we fit together... or peanut butter and jelly (yum!)

even so, we've had some differences lately. mostly with some wedding details. and we know that will happen from time to time. but we're working it out. and most importantly - we're praying together. :)

hey rr! I'm glad you guys are praying together. Planning a wedding is stressful! (Thus the need for a honeymoon -- no joke, you need a vacation!) But you're already ahead of the game b/c you know to ask for help from God & other people. As Luke says, don't worry, baby duck! <3
