kringangel's Pink wedding

I saw an old friend tonight. She was asking about the wedding, asking the normal questions, then she asked "Wasn't it worth it to wait on the Lord?" I've had this thought on my heart all evening.
It has been worth waiting on the Lord. I have a peace in my heart that's unexplainable. I know without a shadow of doubt that I'm supposed to marry this man. That doesn't mean that every time I look at the countdown (74 days now) that it doesn't take my breath and I say how crazy it is. It just means that I have a perfect peace about it.

I prayed for years for God to send me the husband that he wanted me to have. I believed God was capable of that, but I don't know I fully trusted he would. Looking at myself, I knew I didn't deserve it, but I'm thankful God didn't send me my mate on the basis of what I deserved.
Michael and I live about 115 miles apart from one another. We have figured out that in years past we were at some of the places at the same times (church meetings, etc.), but we can't say we ever noticed each other or remembered one another. All credit has to go to God for bringing us together.

Michael is amazing. He has a wonderful reputation. Everyone that knows him speaks highly of him. He is talented. He is very skilled at his profession. He is kind. He is considerate. He is a christian. He is everything I have ever wanted.

Michael far exceeds all that I was praying for in a husband. He is my prince.

In all the rush of wedding preparations and life changes I don't want to lose sight of this. God brought us together, put us together, and will be the one to keep us together.

I read somewhere that the best marriages begin with both parties believing they are marrying better than they deserve. I know Michael far exceeds what I deserve! He is getting the short end of this deal.

Had I done things in my own way, and it my own timing, I would have messed up. God makes no mistakes. It was worth waiting on the Lord.


"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
Psalm 37:4-5
