12 Days

I went to church yesterday and everyone (except for one person) who talked to me asked me if I was nervous about getting married. I answered with a resounding no. I am so excited! I'm not nervous because I know that I am marrying the right person. Being David's wife and having David as my husband seems like the most natural thing in the world today. I met with Rick today to talk about the ceremony. Our sanctuary has glass all across the back, so how he told me how it would work so that David would not see me until I walked down the aisle. I envisioned it all in my head and I started to get all teary-eyed and fluttery in my stomach. David still gives me butterflies=) I know our reception will be a blast, but I am most looking forward to our ceremony because that is where we will say our vows and make our promises to one another. To me, that is the most important thing we will do on October 18th=) I love my David and I am so excited for our wedding- in just 12 more days!!!!

In His Mercy.

Love

Last night I went to the Bible study that David has started up on Wednesday nights. Last night, we watched a Nooma video with Rob Bell. He talked about the three different kinds of love in the Old Testament. There's the friendship love, the deep affection and desire love, and then there's erotic love. As he went through the three loves, he explained how in a marriage relationship, all three loves have to work together in order for the marriage to thrive. If you think in terms of each of the loves being a flame, then they need to burn together and not as three separate loves.

I just thought that that was an appropriate lesson to learn about three days before I'll be flying up to CT for David and I's wedding. I mean, we started off as friends, and as our love for each other grew as friends, it developed into a deeper affection and so on. And that's the way it should be. As our loves for each other grow, so will our marriage.

16 days=)
