wedding season.

And so the beginning of a long line of friends weddings begin. Eating way too much cake. watching awkward best man speeches. bridal showers. vows. bouquets. open bars. dancing barefoot on the dance floor. Just your usual wedding fun.

I love weddings because of the stories that are being told between two people. Before this summer I've been to other weddings, but not to anybody who I've been this close to. Not to friends who I've sat up late with on random nights to talk about our frustration with boys and dream together about our weddings that seemed so far in the future. Weddings are so beautiful because of the story you can see in the lives of the bride and groom. The heartache, the break ups, the pain, the doubt that had to take place in order for these two people to come together and truly know that they are meant to live the rest of their lives together.

Its so beautiful. I don't know how girls make it down the aisle without tearing up. The anticipation of that one day builds up for so long... and they are finally joining up as one to spend the rest of their lives with another person. This person who knows them better than anyone else and who's willing to fight with them, to get to know them through the good times and bad and commit everything they have to the other.

Bethany and I have recently become completely obsessed with the song "you're beautiful" by Phil Wickham. There are always those few worship songs that I can listen to that I can't help but get a smile on my face while I'm singing them, this song does that for me. The last verse of the song says,

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing... You’re Beautiful

To think that Christ would actually think of me as his bride and long to pursue me and love me like no one else could, absolutely blows my mind. I long for the day when I get to walk down the aisle towards a man who desires to know everything about me, physically, spiritually, emotionally. I know that God has me in a period of singleness right now. He continues to show me his pursuit for me and I'm beginning to get a small glimpse into this divine romance that I have began with him. I hope that right now I'm able to sit back and allow him to work in my heart and prepare me for this man.

Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.
