(This was written March 6, 2015.)
Here is a flashback to the day before I married my best friend, March 6, 2015. My journey of experiencing God’s faithfulness never ceases to amaze me.
It’s my last day of singleness! And whew, there are many last minute things I need to do. I am hoping I’ll have more time to write more later on in the day, but I decided to write a quick entry now just in case.
As I ponder my journey that’s led me here, the overwhelming theme that keeps coming back to me is how incredibly faithful and good God truly is.
But sometimes it does not appear to be the case. I walked through many dark days, and it took many years of surrendering my hopes, dreams, and plans in order to get to where I am today. God did not withhold good from me. But he did have me wait until he knew I was ready to receive the good he had in store for me.
This is how God is with each of his beloved children. He never forgets you or turns his back on you or withholds your dreams as a form of punishment or payment. He simply sees the bigger and better-best-picture that we simply can’t see with our finite minds. And he reveals his beautiful story when we are most ready to live it out.
Friends and family who have walked this journey with me, I love and appreciate each of you. As I move into a new chapter in my life, I know that the season of singleness I’ve lived for 33 years now has not been in vain; nor was it wasted. But now I embark on a season of marriage to the most wonderful man I know. Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support throughout my years of waiting.
Fairytales really do come true when we delight ourselves in God, and when it’s God’s beautiful and perfect timing!!!
