As much as I try to envision my future and what it will hold for me I am always pleasantly surprised by the awe and wonder of God. My own plans and direction are never enough, he always has something grander planned for us.

We were wed on June 20, 2008. The day was perfect and even better than my very own dreams had ever imagined. I had prayed for two years during our engagement that it would be a beautiful day with a slight breeze to cool things down. I asked God to use this as a sign that we were following the plans he had for us.

 A storm rolled in around 5 p.m., it was dark and the winds were strong. The wedding was planned to be outdoors overlooking the pond and foutain. The event coordinator, D.J. and photographer asked me to move everything indoors. I complied with their wishes with a condition that if the storm blew over, we’d move everything back outside. I knew it would blow ever, I had prayed for a sign.

At 5:15 the storm passed, the sun shined through the clouds and I caught a glimpse of my soon to be husband, he had just arrived. A slight breeze cooled us down as our guests intensly watched us as we repeated our vows.

What a beautiful day! It was as if God was saying, I know the storms you have gone through and you always have faith in me, you shall be blessed for your faith.  Thank you God for all the blessings you have given us!
