A little Adventure Never Hurts

Well, this is new. Usually, when I have much change, I am calm, or at least I thought so! Over the next few weeks, my life is about to change rapidly. I am getting married, honeymoon, packing my things, moving to a new state, and starting a new job! It makes my heart race just thinking about it all, but in a good way. I know that this week will fly by and that come June 18^th, my life’s trajectory will change forever. Instead of just thinking about “me,” I will be thinking about “us.” I never thought I’d get married at twenty-five, let alone become a director of a Wesley Foundation. However, I am thankful it is happening in God’s timing and not my own.

In my time on this earth, I have learned that it is not always about us. If we were, we would mess everything up. Personally, I like to delay what should be happening right now for a time when I “think” that I would be ready. But when are we ever prepared? Sometimes we must be willing to make the jump! I remember sitting on Facetime with Kathryn as we talked about rings, and she said in the most innocent tone I’ve heard from her, “This is the one!” At that moment, I knew what I had to do. I thought to myself, “Buy the ring and commit.” So, I did, and here we are now. Monday of our wedding week and Saturday it will be time to continue what we started. Am I nervous? ABSOLUTELY! But I am confident that we’ve made the right decision. However, it didn’t come from either of us waiting around for a sign to make sure it was the right thing to do. Don’t get me wrong. I think it is essential to be cautious and make sound decisions. Kathryn often calls me calculated, and well, I am. But I know that I don’t want to live life making the “if only” statements of regret.

We’ve come to the end of this blog post that is my wedding week brain, but I wanted to share it with whoever will read. I know this is so much at once, but I am confident and secure that it will come to the rightful conclusion. I am not a person that says all things happen for a reason. I am more of a trust-the-process person. I am excited for life’s new adventures and what all life has to offer. I am sometimes afraid of the unknown, but sometimes we must be willing to step into the darkness to remind us that our eyes should remain on the light we are walking towards. Lastly, Kathryn, I love you and can’t wait to be your husband.
