Pre-marital thoughts

So we're nearly there... less than 1 week till the big day. It's crazy when you get a moment to think about where you are now and how much that will permanently change after a single event. I believe I'm ready... as ready as one can be... but I also know there's no way one can be "prepared" for something like marriage--in the sense that I know I can't know exactly what to expect and how to respond to every event and situation that will come, etc. But I know God has been preparing me and supporting me through everyone around me in my life and particularly these last few months and years. I've already been challenged to the core a few dozen times in the last few weeks as Courtney and I have dealt with the stress of wedding planning and being in such close proximity to each so constantly even though we're not yet married or living together. Still, I'm excited to see how God changes me and her as we begin this new phase of our lives and see the things that God has already accomplished in us come to the fore in our life together.

Congratulations!!! We are so excited for you two and the adventure that lies ahead. Marriage is awesome!! It definitely challenges you, but such a rich experience to share life with someone. Excited to hear how the day went!!
