Good morning bloggers everywhere in the blogging world. I am so excited to announce! The Bachelorette party is almost here! Sunday afternoon the girl's and I will be going out for some fun! We will be going out for a really nice dinner and then yes, I have requested cake for the big event of fun, oh my! I have almost forgot! What am I going to wear for my Bachelorette party? I had almost forgotten. Something for me to think about. I almost forgot I need to think about hair and make up, this is all coming up so fast. I have things to catch up on before the Bachelorette party! So much to do so little time! I really do like that catch phrase, because there really is so much to do and so little time to get it all done. Before I know it, I'll be taking a train up to see Garret's parents. I have butterflies in my tummy. I'll be traveling up North for the wedding and I am really excited about it. No Garret for a whole entire week! what! OH MAN! but I think I can do it. What am I complaining about anyway, I know there are some of you who have to be away from your man for years at a time, so what am I complaining about? I am excited to be having a wedding that will build a lasting memory in our hearts. It is almost here! yay! Here we goooooo it's almost like a rollercoaster ride, we are at that point when we are reaching the top of the ride and now we will be rolling all the way down.
I am so glad that you are viewing this page as I take you along with me on our own little journey to the wedding day. It won't be long until it's here! Before you know it we will be on our way to our next adventure, our honeymoon! Follow us along the way we would love to take you with us on our journey, our new beginnings, our never ending life's story. If you like this page and you want to know more about our journey and want to pray with us please follow my blog, I would love to get to know each of you better. I hope in some way to be able to inspire you to see that even though I am a blogger and on my way to the alter that life is not perfect and there will be trails and tribulations and that is just a part of life. You can't get around it or over it that's just it. Challenges are just apart of what is sewn into our lives. It's how we approach those life's issues that counts towards our happiness and well-being. Are we able to ride the wave or let the wave roll right on under as we fly over the water back onto calm waters.
How do we overcome the things that are most challenging in our lives? This I have learned, you hold onto God 100% there is nothing like holding onto Him. He is the best Dad in the world. I've held onto two promises, first, He will uphold you with His righteous right hand, second, He will never leave you or forsake you. That is a promise. I am not perfect by any means, never will I lead you to believe that or think that. A lot of people talk about how life is or how it should be or the way things are meant to be, some say this is how someone should have lived their life or that they did not live it correctly, I am here to say that no matter how you live your life, live it simply. Now this is what my Grandfather, Imel taught me, "The whole world will love you," He said, BUT you can't love the whole world." He always seem to have it just about right, and when I say just about right, I can't say he was always right because he had flawed personality as well as a genuine spirit. That is the truth.
If anyone knew him best in his old age it would be me. I spent every day with him until he past away. He also said that sometimes, you live the best way you know how and you do the best you can to try and do the right thing, but sometimes you can't do the right thing." Boy was he ever right. We all try our very best to do the right thing. Sometimes there will just be people in your life who get down on you because you got married the wrong way, it's too fancy, it's too country, it's not enough fancy, it's not enough pretty, it's all about the frills, the dress, the shoes, the make-up, the glamour, the dream and for others, they might never have had a wedding before, maybe you got pregnant before you got married, shame on you! You did it wrong! I love how people point the finger on what is right and what is wrong. Who is better to be the ultimate judge other than the Heavenly Father.
I have thought about perfect people and what their flawless lives might look like, and I have nothing to learn from them. In fact the truth is not in them if they suppose they have nothing better to do than to live up on their high horse and look down on everyone else who hasn't lived up to their standards. I don't consider that love or Grace at all. I would run far and fast away from these people. We all have secrets or our own, things we do not share with people of ourselves. I am sure those are all very well kept secrets but to me they are nothing, just as with Jesus His blood covers it all. As long as you are in Christ, you are a new creation. Some how people show up at weddings with their thoughts, opinions, words that are negative and not up-lifting at all. It is not for them to be the judge of all things, nor the commentators of people's life. We do not need them or anyone else to show up with their critical mindsets.
We all have something to share, a story I am sure of. Something we could all say about our inner selves that we could share is not so great. How can we be so quick to point the finger? What is the point. To tell someone else how they should be living better or how they did not live it better to begin with when now they are walking with the Lord. What are we score card keepers, as if God really needs our help, I think He has got this all under control. I am not anyone big to talk but I don't have to be an uprising person to tell you, I've got my own critics within my family. They love, love to watch my life with the purpose of having a reason to say something that is not affirming to my spirit. They have this wonderful habit of spitting in my face so to speak, never once have I had relationship with these people but it sure has been something to set boundaries against their critical spirits. This goes for many people who have this habit. Place secure healthy standards for yourself know first who you are in Christ and do all that you can to live for Him because in the end He is all that I am living for.
