I'm on a 10 day wedding extravaganza with my 7 month old daughter and my best friend. My parents and I drove through the night and arrived at my Grandparents house early afternoon today. We are here for my cousin and best friends wedding. I am to be the matron of honor and got off of work for a whole week to help prepare for the wedding.
I am back in my mother's home state of Michigan, and not just anywhere in Michigan - DA U.P. (the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) As my husband put it today on the phone..."You sound chipper" well, yes, yes I am! I am about as happy as they come. There is something about fall in MI that you just can't beat. The sand that gets everywhere in your car and suitcase that irritates me and makes me smile. So much family everywhere you turn, and such sweet and fun conversations at all times! Dear friends I haven't seen since my wedding or college days are coming and I am overwhelmed with excitement and fear that I won't get enough time to catch up with everyone.
There are certain people that can hold your attention from hundreds of miles away...they are called best friends. And even though we only see them every once in a while our hearts are full of love for them and when we get the chance to be together, it's like we were never apart. Not only am I excited to see some of my best friends at the wedding, I am thankful to God for letting my cousin and life-long best friend move to my home state just a couple of buildings down from me! Things we talked about as children, and college buddies, are now coming to life in the form of our wildest dreams. To live by and be with our best friend. Of course now we have to compete with those loving husbands (!) but a girlfriend is so necessary in keeping ourselves sane.
Never stop believing that God is in control. Never stop thinking that your dreams and secret wishes won't come true or that God doesn't care. Never believe that you are not thought of by God. He cares about every detail of our lives and desires to make us happy. And in return isn't it only right for us to care and love and serve Him back?
