Jehovah-Jireh

He is my Provider.

Life has been so incredible this past month. Everytime I start stressing out the slightest bit over something the Lord reminds me to give it back to Him and then shows me how He always comes through. It's been an overwhelming experience. One day Caleb and I were sitting inside of Starbucks and I was journaling about how I was worried about getting a photographer for the wedding. I've been having these reoccuring dreams where it's the wedding day and everything is perfect except.... no photographer! seriously, for those of you who know me you can see how this is obviously my worst nightmare. So here I was praying that the Lord would just provide someone, anyone really, who was handy with a camera and I could rest at ease knowing my wedding would be "picture perfect." Well, you know how He is. Literally the next day a photographer contacted me and agreed to photograph the wedding. God is so good, right? but wait... it wasn't just any photographer but the one that I've aaalways wanted. isn't that rad? yeah, He's pretty rad.

There have been so many other things too... super cheap rent for the cottage we're living in. well, only Caleb right now... I move-in in August. (; aaand for the honeymoon. "where do you honeymoon when you live in Hawaii?" necessities for our home and free furniture.

...like I said, an overwhelming experience.

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:19

and that's just a small amount of the blessing He has poured out in my life... I couldn't even try to say all that He is doing because it is immeasurable. Through it all I am reminding myself, it's not about the blessing it's all about the Blesser. and it's very evident to me that He has done all of this to bring glory to His name.

uhhh... yeah.

hello my dear bloggers, it's been quite sometime...

let's see, life "after" Bible College feels a lot like in between semesters... everyone leaves, you're still here, you go to work, you don't have homework, you watch movies, you don't listen to chuck tracks (even though you swore you were going to do them over the break)... did i really graduate? that last week seemed so surreal. everything leading up to that last night of graduation... actually, i still had one last class the next day so even though I graduated on Thursday night I wasn't officially done until Friday afternoon. It was crazy... There were seven students graduating and pretty much all of us waited til last second to prepare our 2 minute speeches we were to give on our, "belief, hope, and direction." "what does that mean?" is pretty much what we kept asking each other all day. it was a fun night and ended with an awesome slideshow! you might be able to view it here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=1160804385294&ref=mf

anyways, all that to say my Bible College experience added up to a great one. I'm so blessed to have been able to finish all four semesters and to have shared with the most incredible people every semester. God is so good.

So what's next? well, obviously marriage. (woohoo!) right now is a really big season of transition and it's all happening in a super short amount of time... but, I'm not stressing. which is kind of a big deal for me. I'm just taking it easy and going along for this crazy ride that God's totally in control of. So, if you think of it, please pray for Caleb and me we would appreciate it more than you could ever know! Wedding plans are coming along quite nicely... except for the fact that i've never planned a wedding so i feel like i'm forgetting some important things. I don't even have a photographer yet... oh dear. i guess as long as i'm there, Caleb's there, my dad is there (he's performing the ceremony), and the marriage license... oh, and you too mom... then we're good! and maybe throw some cake in there too. THEN we'll be good. yeah, so you kind of see where i'm at right now... it'll all come together. (:

Already we're seeing the amazing things that God is doing for us. Preparing and blessing us, He's definitely blowing our minds. It's been super cool.
