I had a tentative idea of how everything would happen. I have already told you that I wanted a Vegas wedding. I even had a dress and was looking at wedding chapels. When my pastor asked me about my engagement and asked about my elopement. I was happy to tell him all about it. Instead I am doing premarital counseling with my Associate Pastor and my sweet fiancé (He really is the sweetest. He bought me a whole bag of black jelly beans, my favorite!!).
We are filling out forms and we have couples homework. I was talking about not having a wedding date and Geoff was like, "Trust in the Lord..." Did my fiancé quote Proverbs to me? He sure did! I had all of these things up in the air and now they are finding their way. Not my way, as much as I wanted to have a flashy glitzy wedding in Vegas, I am finding that God's way is better than my own.
I still don't know what is happening. My very intimate wedding is beginning to look different. We are using words like "guest lists" and there is every possibility that a minister that has known me for several years will marry us. We are still in the middle of a pandemic. So, we are looking at a micro wedding. I mean, there are people that still don't know that we are engaged. I was talking to my close, dear friend, Rebecca and she looked at my hand and was like, "What's that on your hand?" I felt horrible that she didn't know.
Here I am making plans and there is every possibility that God is laughing. BUT... He's not laughing at me, He is laughing with me. And I am laughing with Him. It's His world and I'm leaving my life in His big capable hands. That being the case, I can afford to laugh... with my guy, while being in love. Who knows what will happen? I'm excited to see what will happen. Praise the Lord!
