Years of prayers are just 12 short days away from being answered. On March 1st before God, Family and Loved ones I will be getting married. I have been waiting (some times patiently....usually not) on God to bring the woman he has for me to marry.
Elizabeth is a dream come true. She is the absolutely sweet, patient, kind, gentle, full of Love and Beauty. I love her so much and can not wait to see what God does in our marriage.
In a world full of broken relationships, and families... we long for God to shine His plans and purposes for the covenant of marriage through us.
I am terrified at my lack of ability to love LizBeth to the level that Christ loved his Church. At the same time I know he is faithful to do it through me if only I will die to myself and allow him to Love her through me.
I am not naive about the struggles ahead. The enemy hates marriage. Marriage is the best picture of Christ love for His Church. He wants to destroy our understanding of such an intense picture of oneness and intimacy with Christ.
With Gods help Lizbeth and I long to shine that picture and that Love brightly. That is not a responsibility that any married couple should take lightly as they strive to build their relationship on the foundation of Christ...the one true immovable rock.
It is not our hope to merely survive our marriage and avoid being a divorce statistic. We long to thrive. To taste and see God's goodness and His plan for this Holy covenant.
God keep us willing. Excited. Desperate for you.
