It's been on my heart to call up a very dear friend of mine; unfortunately time and energy has had to be directed elsewhere. Fortunately Christ has been on her heart as much as he has been on mine, only she just acted on it and contacted me via that beautiful creation which is google talk. Here's something I don't think she'd mind if I shared from our conversation, it's me writing to her, responding to her desire to hear my heart. The reason I am posting this is because it's a very clear, concise description of what's going on in my heart right now. So I must thank her immensely for asking and allowing me to share.
I just want to share what is happening with the wedding plans, the pain of people's reactions when they stand back and their faces reflect the shock they are verbally expressing at how soon we are getting married. Instead of sharing in the joy that is us and Christ bringing us into a union with Him.
I wanted to share the frustration of people not understanding how good Michael and I are together. How we really function as a unit and work at our relationship. How we're not basing this relationship on emotion but a deep understanding that we believe this is what Christ wants for us, this is the best that he wants to give us and how we work so well as people, let alone as a couple who dearly love each other.
I wanted to talk about how wonderful it is that I am a bride! I'm getting married to the man I never dared dream might exist. How wonderful it is that I get an experience that is directly related to how we as the bride of Christ will feel on the day He comes again for us.
I wanted to talk about how nervous I get at moments but when I think that Mic is going to be my husband and we are going to learn to work even better together, I am filled with peace and joy and excitement.
I wanted to talk about how we'll fight as a married couple, how he'll drive me insane at moments, but how we'll get through the fires and and how we'll go on at the point so many couples turn back and say it's not worth it.
