25 Days!

Only 25 days until my dream of becoming a married man comes true! I am ecstatic about the whole thing. I am also nervous about the new challenges it will bring into my life, but I know that none of the challenges are beyond God's ability to control. Jamie and I are both adamant about making sure that we keep God at the center of our relationship, and so I know things will work out.

I still find myself trying to adjust to the idea of being with another person. That might sound funny considering that I have been in this relationship for a little over a year now, but it's different when you are looking at soon living with someone else. I am tyring to get rid of some of my bachelor ways of thinking, and remember that finances, time, and everything else needs to be properly balanced and that I am going to have to consult her regarding decisions before I make them.

I am more than happy to make these adjustments, because I have wanted this for so many years. Looking back at some of my early writings, I see how far I have come. No longer am I that lonely computer geek writing about all my relationship troubles. Now I am with the woman of my dreams, and I'm embarking on a new chapter of my life. Praise God for providing me a helpmate.

That's all I really have to say right now. I'm just thinking and typing out my thoughts while work is slow. I pray that all of you are experiencing God's providence and blessing in your lives as well.

SO excited for you guys. It is an adjustment but I believe it's about perception. Many newlyweds feel the adjustment is expected torture, and the anticipation is great. I challenge you and Jamie to see it as expectation--what can you learn about each other and the Lord through this new beginning.
