On the 2nd day of Christmas...

Today I am praying for my upcoming marriage. In case you've never noticed, I'm afraid of everything. Vacuums, basements, needles, 6th graders.... you name it I can probably tell you of an irrational (or sometimes legitimate) fear I have or have had. Marriage is no exception. I am scared. It used to scare me that it scared me so much... now I'm ok with it. Go ahead, play Dr. Phil... You'll probably need Sigmund Freud himself to figure me out. But honestly, I would be a little uneasy if I wasn't afraid of such a big commitment... As Nate and I dream of our future together and talk about the tough things and give our time and energy and thoughts to invest in our marriage, I am confident of a couple of things. God redeems, provides, loves, and rescues. And I have found the one my soul loves (that's from song of songs by the way). So today, I am praying that God continues to teach me what it means to be a loving wife.
