Crescendo

We did it! We got married!!!

I find it hard to believe I've been a married woman for almost two months now. It has been everything I ever dreamed of and more and am happy to report that though I got mixed reports on whether it "felt different" to be married I was pleased to see that it DOES feel different. A great kind of different. I can't describe it exactly, but somehow I am not only more in love but I also feel like it is a more secure type of love. That's funny, because I didn't feel particulary insecure in love premarriage.

I don't know that I've ever smiled like I smiled on my wedding day. I swear it was a joy from the bottom of my soul that poured through my body. I wasn't nervous, I wasn't anxious, I was so at peace and so in the moment! The night before I was more nervous and everything felt sort of "out of body". I cried on the way to and at the rehearsal and then was nervous and uptight at the rehearsal dinner. When I woke up the next morning, though, I was ready to go. It was one of those crescendo moments in life! Everything for years and years of my life had built up to that moment and it was a Godly joy that I knew that this was really a religious experience. I'm so thankful to Him for the gift of our love and the gift of that day and most importantly, for the gift of His will winning over mine so many times that helped me get to that point. He knew what He was doing for sure.

So now I'm a married woman and working on my next song, my next crescendo moments and I don't even know what they are. I'm starting a new job and God has already had His hands all over me ending up at this school. There is more than one child that is linked to me in a weird way so its not like I'm starting off no where with random children, I can honestly say I'm where God put me and I feel like He picked these kids for me to work with.

If it sounds like I'm in the midst of a mountain top spiritually that's probably because I am. For the two things I mentioned above and because I have watched God be glorified through people I know and love alot lately. Through marriages and babies and miracles and even really rough times. I have watched God come through in nightmare situations and have watched people- amazing people- come out the other side as better people. I stand amazed and excited- God isn't done with those of us down here on earth yet and I can't wait to see how He will be glorified next.

A huge, long chapter of my life closed a couple months ago and this new one started. I can't wait to walk it all out and see where I end up next!
