This Thanksgiving I have something new to be thankful for.....my sweetheart, Chris who is now my HUSBAND! :) It is so surreal to call myself a WIFE but it's extremely fun. We got back from our honeymoon on Tuesday and now head into this beautiful Holiday season.
As I look back on this past year, my mouth sometimes hangs open in disbelief! Within 10 months, I met the man God had made just for me, we dated 3 months, got engaged, planned our wedding, moved twice and got MARRIED 2 weeks ago! The faithfulness of the Lord never ceases to amaze me. It is only by his beautiful Grace that he allowed Chris & I to meet and gave us strength and grace to plan our wedding so quickly. We are so excited to finally catch our breath these next few months but are also very excited for the future. We are currently pursuing a missions trip (stay tuned for details soon!). So many "firsts" and exciting things are here. We are truly in the fullness of time and it's sooo fun!
This Thanksgiving, I encourage you all to take time to thank God for the little things...it's easy to thank him for the big obvious things--your family, your job, your health, etc. But take time to thank him for the simplest things....a beautiful sunset, a crying baby, a rainy day, a fresh cup of coffee, your bible, etc.
I love you all and wish you the most wonderful Thanksgiving!!! :)
Praise God Jessica!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you and Chris!
May the Lord richly bless you both
as you walk through this life hand
in hand, doing all that He has called
you as a couple to do!

ReplyDeleteWhen something is orchestrated by our heavenly father it's all in his perfect timing. Like Shaun and myself. We "dated" 4 months before even seeing each other for the first time in 5 years. The day that he picked me up from the airport is the same day I became an engaged woman. 3 months later I packed up my life and moved halfway across the country! Got married the next year. Everything worked out so well and I know it did for you guys as well. When you know you know. When God made Chris, he was saying he's going to marry a beautiful girl named Jessica who has an absolute heart of gold and you two will do amazing things together for my kingdom. Well I think I've written a long enough comment. Hope to see you guys soon. <3
