Mark and I have been feeling so blessed even as we prepare for our wedding. We're so grateful for all He has been doing in the process from our time of engagement till now... Just came back from signing the bridal studio package tonight, so now he has no choice but to marry me or forfeit the deposit, haha ;-)
Grateful for all He has been teaching us in our relationship, learning to love one another above ourselves, and love God most of all. And for the many friends He has surrounded our lives with, so many people offering to help in so many ways, just a phone call away. We look forward to our youths ushering and dancing at our wedding, our cousins playing in the worship band :)
We are overwhelmed by His faithfulness and goodness to us... also knowing at the same time that we do not take any of this for granted, as we know many couples go thru a difficult process even getting married...
I thank God for His material blessings. The engagement Bible my friend April got me when I didn't have one, the beautiful wedding planner my tuition girl's mother got me that I didn't even want to open for a week as the wrapping was so nice :)... the unbelievably good price I got my wedding dress at, my aunty's kind offer of her timeshare week for our honeymoon... The smooth booking of our wedding venue coming along, and the list goes on.
Our most recent surprise - winning a $1k photo package from Chris Ling Photographers, after I sent in a coupon in a Her World Brides magazine! That was the highlight of our week :)
But more than material blessings, we desire God's presence in our relationship and are grateful for the community of people we are blessed with in the Church.. the Christian support and role of community in a marriage is crucial. Like Moses, we know that He has to go with us, if not we do not dare move ahead.. we ask His continued presence and Lordship over our lives. Thank You, Lord, for everything.. now back to my Amos assignment ;-)...
