94

Mi Prometido

Lucky duck am I! We will be wed in just 94 days from now. I am so much looking forward to spending my life with him. Our lives together. Our life. He has my heart and I have his. I am blessed how Jesus is so merciful. He gives gifts everyday. Not only the gift of each other, but the gift of teaching us how to better love like He does. How to forgive like He does. How to be patient as He is. How to be full of compassion as He is. How to serve as He does. How to enjoy as He does. Austin and I are learning so much. I genuinely get excited knowing that God uses our relationship as a precious tool to refine the both of us. Sometimes it is difficult. We are so unique in each others' lives. I pray that I always stay open to growing. That I always stay aware of Loving. That I always decide to endure. That I always know where Strength is. That I always trust when I can't seem to find it. That I always encourage and care for and serve and honor and respect and laugh with and adore and smother in kisses this man that will be my

It is a challenge, a beautiful one at that, to keep focused on the important and long-lasting things. We will have a wedding for a few hours. We will be married till death parts us. What a gigantic difference. Oh Lord, fix my eyes on you when they stray and worry over silly things. Keep me from distraction and lead me in your ways. Austin is the man I've prayed for my entire life. Not only, Lord, show me who he. Although, if I keep with honesty, that impatient prayer has been prayed a time or two. But, the prayers that in the moment seem so itsy-bitsy. Lord, wherever my husband is today, draw near to him and keep him safe. Teach him something new. He is the man I've wondered about. He is way more than I ever could have dreamed. And I am so very grateful God is more creative than I am - that's for sure! It is so neat to meet Austin, fall in love with Austin, accept to marrying Austin and look at him now as my fiance and think back on those prayers and say, Wow, Lord. Thank you. You drew near to him. You kept him safe. You have been teaching him. And now, Lord, continue to draw near to us, keep us safe and teach us something new. Life is sometimes a very complex and difficult process. But in all things, there is beauty. God has a way of designing things with such perfection. Life is going to continue to be such a joyful experience. And in 94 days, I get to experience becoming a
