I Serve A Beautiful God Who Blesses

Rarely do I blog nowadays, because my life has been so busy lately. Writing has definitely taken a backseat right now to life's other obligations. However, I feel like it is important to mention why I have been out of touch with the blogging scene.

I AM GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW!

There you go! That's why! I am so very excited! Most of my friends from FaithWriters have been following my countdown on Facebook and are aware of my big day tomorrow. A wedding is exciting for everyone, but most don't realize what significance this day has for me. No one was there to feel my anguish when I would lay in my bed or on the couch in my apartment literally crying out to God for a mate. No one was there to see my pain when I would see other couples holding hands or sharing a peck on the lips and wishing that were me giving and receiving that affection. It's hard to describe unless you have been there. I never thought there would be a woman who who would love me enough to want to spend the rest of their life with me.

But then God sent me Jamie...

And now my life is less empty as I prepare to become one with her tomorrow in front of our family and friends. One thing I understand is that marriage is not meant to be the end all solution to loneliness. There are many who would attest to the fact that you can feel very lonely even within a marriage. However, I also realize that marriage is meant to bring two people closer to each other and to God, and as you draw closer to God, that loneliness you have felt will begin to fade as He wraps you tightly in his arms of love. Tomorrow I join together with my helpmate - the one who will stand together with me and help me draw closer to God. I will help her do the same. My goal is to serve her and sacrifice for her just as Christ did for all of mankind. What a beautiful opportunity He has given to me to be able to share the love He has given to me with such a beautiful creation. Jamie truly is beautiful and deserving of that love.

I could go on and on, but for the sake of not making this post too long, I want to end this by saying that God knows our needs and our desires. He will give to us blessings if we seek Him and give Him control of our lives. I am proof of that. Whether it is a spouse or something else, whatever it is that you long for, seek God on it. As long as it is within reason and something that will allow you to grow in your relationship with Him, then He will give it to you.

Thank you all for supporting me during this special time in my life.
