Well i've got about 13 hours until i have to be at the airport to catch my plane to budapest. the team and i are really excited about what God's going to do on this spring break mission trip, and i'm especially excited to see all my friends that i met and spent so much time with this past summer...
wow. it's crazy to see where God has brought me since i was last in budapest. i was single and content with just me and Jesus, and now i'm engaged to be married. wow. even when we were planning this spring break trip i wasn't engaged. God is good. so much happened last summer, i learned so much...and now it's showing fruit. and i get to go back! wheee!
i love going to other countries. the smell and feel of an international airport is so cool. people look so different, sound so different, but we're all people, part of God's glorious creation.
but i know...i'm getting married in a little over 2 months (72 days!) and i'm crazy enough to go to europe in the midst of all the mayhem of planning my wedding...don't worry, i'm not too crazy. i think God has given me a special grace to go back, to serve again, and see His kingdom advance, all while ironing out details, nearly freaking out that one of my bridesmaids hadn't gotten her dress until this last week, and being a full time student!
crazy? no. superwoman? no. God's grace? yes. " From the fullness of grace we have all received one blessing after another."
i am so blessed. God is so good. can i just brag on him a bit?
not only does he bring Dave into my life, God brought him in the PERFECT timing, he orchestrated everything perfectly, my family adores him, and as for me?...well, he is most definetly everything i have ever wanted. every single dream, every single wish, every single desire for a husband is all fulfilled in that man. not that he's some perfect being mind you, but God is so good to make some one so perfect for me. i can literally tell you time after time when i prayed for my husband, asked God for a certain attribute for my husband to have, dreamed about him, wished for crazy things like brown hair that i could run my fingers through one day and was styled "spikey" like...i'm still reminded of those dreams, wishes, etc. and God is so good. he made dave just for me.
ok i'm sorry. i could go on and on about how amazing dave is, and how INCREDIBLE God is for making him and putting him in my life...
wedding things are going well, i've gotten my dress (alterations in a week! they're taking it from a size 8 to a 2...i don't know how but they are!), the bridesbabes have theirs, the men have their tuxes, the reception is good to go, so is the ceremony location, as well as the musicians, the rehearsal dinner, did marriage counseling...
now i have just under 72 days to twiddle my thumbs and read more books on how to be a great wife. :-)
question: is the electric slide the only song that everyone knows the moves to that isn't as obnoxioius as "YMCA"? i need more dancing songs for the reception...any favorites?
