Oh now this is just funny...

Remember that blog a couple of weeks ago? That one about being a Circumstantial Christ Follower?

... I wrote something about "Lord make me humble! (but please don't let it come in the form of facial disfigurement...) etc". Please let me present to you, answered prayer Exhibit A:

I received this lovely shiner on the Roadside Mission trip. We were trying to take over a paddle boat pirate-style...and one of the teens in the boat jumped out to try to thwart our plot... anyway, I got a foot in the eye and have been sporting this lovely look all day.

Coincidence? Maybe. Answered prayer. Maybe. But the past couple of weeks God has really been working on my heart and teaching me to love, to love, to love, to love. I'm learning. I am growing. I am being humbled. and I am humbled. It is so weird to have something wrong with your face. Especially the eyes. Because everyone sees them! Anyone that so much as looks at me has to wonder "Whoa what happened to her??" and that is not something I'm used to.

Thank you, God.

HONEYMOON!!

It is official! Josh has found and reserved our honeymoon location! I am SO SO SO excited!

He's keeping it a big secret so I have no idea where we're going... except that it's in the Caribbean :-) Once again, we have been blessed in a big way. A woman from church (ironically the same woman who found us the house that Josh got for a steal) has timeshares on several islands and offered to let us buy one from her. So we're staying in a "penthouse" apartment, on an island that Josh is absolutely ecstatic about, for a week, for under $1000. Now yes, we will have to pay for food and flights, but seriously, we're looking at a $2500 honeymoon in the Caribbean! Ok, that's enough, but can you tell that I'm excited?!

The wedding is 62 days away and I'm feeling awesome about everything! So many people were like, "um, you can NOT plan a wedding in 3 months..." and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to prove them w-r-o-n-g, wrong! :-)

The best part about it is that I am marrying Joshua. I'm marrying him! and then we're going on a vacation, to an island, in the Caribbean, alone together for the first time, as husband and wife.

Could my life be any sweeter??
