There are many other things I should probably be doing. Where have you heard that before? Perhaps as you read this you are thinking the same thing. But I need to take a break and put my thoughts into words.
We are all getting super excited here. The countdown, which began in January, is almost finished. By this time next week, our family will have grown one member larger. My hubby was teasing me, at first, that this was the easiest labor I'd ever have, and this "birth" would be pain-free. I won't go that far. It's been easy, but my new daughter...I can't think of enough things to say about her. She is absolutely head-over-heels in love with our son, and she loves the LORD and trusted the LORD to bring her prince charming to her in His time. If she hadn't waited THIS wedding would not be taking place at all.
All this past week I have just been a bundle of emotions. One moment I am caught up in the excitment of a wedding, in our family. Then the very next I find myself wondering if I will make it through the ceremony and after without blubbering like a baby. Hey, I can watch total strangers get married, and I tear up. I've kidded my sister about bringing a case of kleenex, and we've agreed not to look at each other until after they are pronounced husband and wife.
This new season of life, is being entered at a far higher speed than I'd ever imagined. Back when my lambs were under age 13, we often pondered how the LORD would bring them a spouse. My faith was pretty big the day I stated that God would bring them to our front door if necessary. There was no need to fret, or hunt for him/her. And if God does it, you'll know it.
Little did I know then, just how much truth I had spoken. But that is a story...ok....there are 2 stories...for another day.
As I said I shoudl be doing other things, and since I have cleared my head a bit, I am going to set about getting to it.
Pray for the LORD to bless the newlyweds as they embark on a wondrous, lifelong journey.
