Mat and I put an application toward an apartment and we are APPROVED. It's nice to finally have that ironed out...to be honest think we both are somewhat scared but more so excited. I got Mat's ring yesterday and he was like a little kid in a candy store. So precious. He ordered mine today :)! And 2 days ago, he booked our honeymoon! San Juan, Puerto Rico here we come! So blessed that I will be his wife, and that it will be our first trip as a married couple! He is just so amazing!
Update on Coco: MISS HER like crazy..I talk to her in my room like she was there..I leave voice message on the house machine back home so she can hear my voice during the day...hope this isn't a glimpse of how I am when Mat and I have kids one day far away :)
I'm stressed on the hunt for shoes! I have to have a 3.5 inch heel to be exact for my dress...quite challenging..not breaking the bank, for it to be comfortable and GORGEOUS! Good new's is MY DRESS CAME IN! I have gone to see the seamstress and its in the process barely any alterations! YES!
On a more serious note:
It's been a full week of school, marriage counseling, and bible study.
This week in bible study we are watching a series from Donald Miller entitled, "Let Story Guide You." The disk is only a two part series, but we finished up this past week. Just has been making me think how can I make my "story" better. If i were to leave this Earth, what legacy would I leave? What would people miss or what would the world do without me on this Earth? Anyways, this series really just tugged at my heart...in many ways! I've been so caught up in the everyday routines, the classes, babysitting, bible study, counseling, planning the wedding, traveling that I feel far from God. Not because of Him but because I haven't been genuinely turning to Him and talking with him. We pray in class, I read the bible all the time during class...but looking at it; I see it as homework and I'm not even reading it like God is there...I catch myself just going through the motions, catching myself being distracted because my mind is so bogged down with everything. This past Wednesday night, I got a wake up call or more like a tug at my heart through the video of God saying, "I miss you, come talk to me, Come spend time with me!" So after tonight's class, I'm really going to just spend time with God this weekend an love on Him, not because He needs my love or can't survive with out my love or attention but because I desperately need Him and can not survive without him! I'm so glad that God chased after me and that I'm one of His daughters. This world is temporary and prone to sin, when we are hurt by the ones we love, or let down by circumstances or sin, I find comfort in that God is Perfect and His love is Perfect for us!
