With only a few days left I have
spent a lot of time backtracking and thinking of how I've waited, prayed and hoped
that this day would come. An idea I have thought about everyday has now become an
goal I have finally reached, and more importantly this is a gift that GOD chose
to give me. Over the past eights months I have experienced many emotions:
excitement, anxiousness, fear; but the one that trumps them all is Grateful.
I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to join a exclusive club that not
many people are afforded the chance to be apart of. One that in recent
generations has been taken lightly by our society, yet it is the closest
descriptions for human understanding that GOD chose to use to explain His Love
for us.
The gift of Marriage; which is held at such a high standard in the eye
sights of GOD that Jesus Christ chose to identify with this union to best paint
a picture depicting His love for us. (Ephesians 5: 21-33)
So for me to be called to live out
this level of service, entering into this Holy union, and to be Trusted by GOD with
this wonderful gift of my (soon to be) wife; no words could ever express how
thankful and grateful I am. I'm so fortunate to have her in my life, everything
I ever wanted compiled over years of dating GOD gave me in her and she is more than I could ever ask for. The perfect woman for me and I the perfect man for her. I'm so looking
forward to entering into the realm of the unknown with you, a place where you nor I have ever been, this lifelong journey called marriage; as we lean on The
Lord to direct our path and write the chapters of our story called life
together.
Though our vows may say "Until death due us part"; I much rather say "Until...." I'm not placing any limits of an ending on our relationship; "For what GOD has joined together, let no man separate" (Mark 10:9) that includes both you and me. So I looking forward to our time here on earth together, but more importantly sharing eternity in Heaven with you as we Worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You are the "M" to my "M", the Mel to my Vin, you share apart of my name and I thank GOD that now I get to share the rest of my life with you. I Love You...
