What the world sees is the pretty engagement photos and the { b e a u t i f u l } ring on my finger...
But what the world doesn’t see are our hands clenched, eyes closed, voice raised cry’s to the Lord for guidance and provision. What you also don’t see is that on the inside of my beautiful ring, Bennett had 1 Corinthians 10:31 engraved. From the day our love story began we made a pact to always make decisions based not on what other people expect of us, or what our feelings drive us to want, but rather to SOLELY seek the will of God before all else. “Whether eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 For our Father calls our lives to be glorifying and pleasing to Him and to HIM ALONE. Unfortunately this doesn’t always align with what is “glorifying and pleasing” to the people and world around us. But that’s exactly when we trust the Lord and jump. Thank you Bennett (and so many other people, you know who you are) for reminding me that God doesn’t promise us an easy life but He does promise us that we will never be alone if we strive to be obedient to Him. “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10 If I know anything to be true, it is that God my Father is faithful above all others and His plan is one to be trusted and RAN toward. Bennett, I am so proud of the man that you are and how quickly and fearlessly you respond to the Lord’s call. I feel so blessed and honored to know that He is calling me to walk along side you. I’m so excited to see how the Lord is going to use our crazy, beautiful, fearless, mess of a life all for His glory and the day I get to call myself your wife cannot come soon enough. “‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” Matthew 19:5-6 Boy oh boy I just can’t wait for forever! #justsaidyes
