Wedding Countdown Ticker

Yet To Come...

One of my closest friends got hitched tonight (well, last night technically). Everything, down to the very hearts of the two saying their vows, was beautiful and totally touched by our Lord...
Usually weddings get me down a bit, but I walk away tonight excited. Mostly, excited for Scott and Liisa's awesome adventure ahead in life... For their marriage, their future family, their life... How blessed I feel to be a support to them! But i settle down tonight also excited for my adventure ahead. I am not selfishly depressed that I have not yet experienced what most of my friends have, but I am so stoked to begin that journey - that process of getting to know the heart and gain the love only known between you and God, and a man and his wife- and I know that, without a doubt, the Lord has it all planned and one day I will understand what He has created to exist in the hearts between a man and a woman made for one another. 
My prayer is this: That my love and devotion and adoration grows more for my Lord everyday... That I my marriage and the steps before, will be pleasing to Him and gain the overwhelming support of those I love and share life with like Liisa and Scott are so blessed with. 
The Lord is awesome, at all times...
