Mourning

I've finished packing up my apartment and I find myself mourning. This move feels like the end of my single life, all that I have known as an adult. There are many parts about it that I have really loved and treasured, with the exception of the miniblinds I'm always breaking. Though I'm so excited about this new life I'm starting with this man, tonight it seems fit to mourn. Even when we move from something that is good to something that is also good we have to mourn the loss of the previous good thing. So tonight I will mourn the loss of the old thing so that I can move into the next part with great joy.

Blogging When I Should Be Sleeping

God will just not let me settle about anything in this wedding. He used a woman who is by most standards not a Christian to speak absolute truth into my life. My Father has been so lavish and extravagant with me through this entire process. At every turn he has provided for me, not just enough, not just the bare minimum but extravagantly more than I could have ever imagined. Let's make a list.

1. A man that is so right for me God even allowed him to be my favorite color (orange).
2. More money than I ever could have imagined saved by my amazing mom.
3. The reception site that I never thought I could afford and what appears to be favor with the employees.
4. Incredibly unique, visually interesting, and high quality handmade invitations that I never could have afforded.
5. Amazing friends and family that are so eager and willing to step in and help at a moments notice.
6. An apartment that far surpasses my expectations. Huge kitchen (in Chicago!), a private back porch, and a garden!!
7. A new and improved relationship with my family.
   
8. A dress designed and made especially for me.

WOW!
