As I write this, I sit amazed. God has been very good to me. Among the blessings of life and salvation, He has allowed me to be in a relationship with a great woman.

Hannah and I are in the middle of planning our wedding and we couldn’t be more excited. We have hit some snags, nothing serious, just planning and logistical problems and typical financial issues. Most of them come from the fact that there are some key points to this process that are fairly unique to our situation.
Hannah and I got engaged four weeks ago and our wedding is just over six weeks from now. We are also getting married in another state, on the other side of the country. We also need to find a place to live once we get married. There are other issues, involved, but that’s the general idea. But, God has been very good. He has blessed us in so many ways, some small, some huge, over the past few weeks, and it has been awesome watching the Master work. You see, it is not always easy to trust in God. Trying to plan a small destination wedding has a lot of benefits. We do not have to worry about tables, chairs, decorations, music, brides maids, groomsmen (we do have a best-man and a maid-of-honor though) and a myriad of other details most couples worry about.
That, in itself, is a blessing. But we have to find accommodations and flights, rental cars, places to eat, all without ever setting foot in the same side of the country we are planning to visit. That gets difficult. Especially when you’re talking about doing this for twenty people.

But, in the midst of all of the headaches, God has continually come through. We have found places for everyone to stay, rides for everyone travelling out there, and all of the other details are falling into place. We still have to find a place to live once we get married, but I’m not worried. God has been faithful and generous so far. There is no reason to doubt Him or lose faith as far as that’s concerned.
I guess that’s what Jesus meant when He said not to be anxious in life. There are so many things in this world to cause worry and anxiety, even if you aren’t planning a wedding. Life brings all kinds of troubles and concerns. But the same God who created all things is still at work in our lives, and He will continue to take care of us. Just keep praying and keep your focus on Jesus. Hes got it covered.
