From Free to Cool

My single days are coming to an end. In about a month I will go from a Free-mont to a Cool-man (phonetic spelling of course). The starting of this new exciting chapter isnt without reflection on the past 20 some years. (hey i havent quite hit 30 yet so I can still say 20 some). No more 'hey I may be cheap but I'm not free' jokes but instead a giddy excited feeling about the next big life step. A pattern in my life has always been to wait for the next big step. And as I am knocking on the door of marriage I arrive on the welcome mat with a new refreshed sense of reality. Life happens today. Now. Not while you are waiting for the next big thing. Everyone told me that I would love being engaged. And they were right, I do love it. But for a completly different reason then I think others would expect. I dont love the planning and the details. I dont love the decisions and the colors and dresses and countless wedding blogs and budgets. What I do love is that God is speaking to me. Loud and clear. I am busy and I am stressed but God is working on my character. And He picked now to do it. He won't relent until He has all of me. Using these days as a finace to mold me into the best me I can be. I go into our wedding day bursting with uncontrollable joy, and offering my groom a new woman. Ready to be the best wife I can be. Why? Becuase he and He deserves nothing less. Now thats cool man.
