Today is my wedding day. This morning feels like any other morning. This only confirms to me how right this marriage is. God is so in control. I have felt His sweet presence keenly. Today I believe to see the goodness of the Lord. Today, as I prepare to meet my Russell at the alter at 11:00am, my faith is going to become sight. God promised to give me a husband, then He told me Russell was to be my husband, and today my best friend is going to become my husband. God fulfills His promises...every one! Today I am going to be Russell's radiant bride. Forever his---for better, for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health, forsaking all others and cleaving to him only, until death do us part. Today I am going to hold my husband's hand and be kissed for the very first time. Today I can declare with all assurance that it was worth the wait to wait! I waited for God's best, and I got the best! There is no doubt in my mind that the Lord created Russell and me for each other. No human is perfect, but I believe with all my heart that God makes perfect matches. This is a match which only could have been made in Heaven. Dear loved ones, thank you so much for praying us through the months, right to this moment and this day--April 17, 2010. Please continue to uphold us before the throne of grace. This is going to be a long day, but I've determined that I'm going to have a good attitude no matter what possibly goes wrong, and if my hair falls because of the humidity, I am going to be the happiest mess you ever hoped to see. =D God is SOOOOOO good. By the end of this day, no matter what comes up, I am going to be Russell's wife, and that is the only kind of wedding I want--one that will make me his bride and wife forever. It was worth the wait! It was worth every moment. I'm so glad I saved my first kiss for my husband. I'm so glad I didn't settle for anything less than God's best. Praise the Lord! Today I am a bride. Today is a gift. I'm missing all of you who can't be here to celebrate with Russell and me. We are thinking of you all. Thanks for your emails. You all had me crying last night. I miss you all lots! Lord bless, and I will be writing again sometime after we get back from our honeymoon and get settled into our house. Love you all LOTS!!!
