If I had to describe the last 90 days in one word it would
be:
OVERWHELMING
It’s not necessarily a bad thing. I think there are many
instances where that word is used in a positive connotation.
Regardless, most of my overwhelmed feelings have been of the
negative variety.
Currently 29 days from my glorious wedding day.
It’s surreal really.
This is the day I've dreamed of coming and it seemed it never would.
At the age of 13 I was contemplating marriage with every boyfriend I had.
I’d been given promise rings, promised a lifetime of love by guys who thought they loved me (and I loved them too)…but all of that was futile.
The thought that you can’t know true love until one has matured has a lot of truth behind it. The love of my 18-year-old self and the love I am capable of sharing and receiving 7 years later; it’s a REALLY big difference!

I will say that planning a wedding wasn’t everything I dreamed of.
There are all these ideas I had (thank you Pinterest), but being the stubborn, independent woman I am, I rarely asked for help and wound up planning a wedding in 3 months without much help from anyone. Thankfully some family and friends have graciously given their time and money for the final details of this wonderful day.

Today Justin and I are travelling to San Antonio to celebrate
our soon coming union with my family there. I’m hoping to have a fun night in
the city this evening and maybe find a small church to go to in the morning.
And there, is another miraculous blessing.
About 6 weeks ago, Justin and I began attending Central Baptist Church as a couple. It was the first week of Explore God and I couldn’t have asked for a better time to start going. We got connected with an engagement class led by our senior pastor right after “big church” and then a couple from that class hosts/leads a small group to further discuss Sunday’s sermon.
I think one of the biggest things Justin and I were lacking was fellowship with other couples. Almost all of our close friends are single and now that we’re getting married I think it’s very important to hang out with people who are in the same walk of life as us.

In the last 90 days I have been overwhelmed with love
Overwhelmed with stress
Overwhelmed with blessings
Overwhelmed with sadness
Overwhelmed with joy
Overwhelmed with exhaustion
Overwhelmed with gladness
&
Overwhelmed with LOVE
Three things will last forever--faith, hope, and love--and
the greatest of these is love.
