(no subject)
Ok, so here's the deal [though I'm sure many of you have heard since gossip is a huge favorite - especially among Christians] my fiance and I are pregnant and we're getting married this July. But that's not what I want to talk about [cuz I know how much fun it is to gossip ESPECIALLY when it's someone you know] so I'll leave that topic up to you guys to talk about.
What I wanted to show you all were my Bridesmaids dresses. Aren't they pretty? My mom was trying VERY hard to get me to go with the green but... It is a very nice green but I wanted pink. They'll be in a very pale shade of pink [so pretty] cuz, I dunno, that's what I wanted. My sisters and Sid are going to look beautiful in them. I think especially my sisters. That color just really flatters them. And this is going to be my dress. My favorite part is the back of it. It's so beautiful and it didn't cost me much at all. I bought a Swarovski tiara too which is absolutely GORGEOUS! Holy smokes, seriously, the way it sparkles in the light. Oh man... It's really nice. Dave REALLY doesn't wanna wear a pink vest [haha] so he'll be wearing a white vest and tie. His groomsmen on the other hand will be wearing the pink [sorry guys, better luck next wedding]. So far, we've found a really nice apartment near all the major highways and 5 minutes from the church [jackpot!]. I can't wait to live there. I really can't. Then our honeymoon will be in Punta Cana. This is the resort we'll be staying in, it's beautiful and all inclusive.
[PS. Say hello to my baby]
One thing I've gotta say is, it's amazing how awesome some people have been about this. Because they know Dave and I have gone to God with it and now we're forgiven. So they're actually treating us like it. It's been really awesome. Cuz I just think it's funny how as Christians we can look at some sins as being bigger than others. The only difference between what we've done and what you guys do everyday is that ours is going to show eventually. So, basically you can cover your sin and only you and God [and maybe the people involved] will ever know. Whereas, EVERYONE is gonna know about ours cuz my belly is gonna grow. [Which is gonna be soooo weird] And I guess, because of that, people find it easier to judge each other. Because when you don't physically see the evidence of sin in someone you allow yourself to think that they are without sin.
The coolest part is I've gotten to see a glimpse of how big my God is in all this. He really does make all things new. So, not only has he cleansed me and Dave and made us pure again, but he's also giving us a child. I love Him so much.
Life Goals:
To be a wife - one more month...
To be a mother - check!
Oh, and one more thing. If you're worried about what people think...please don't. That's the silliest thing in the world to worry about. If you're worried about being gossiped about just stop. Everyone will gossip about everyone [unfortunately]. I've been guilty of it a thousand times and let me tell you - your opinion about a person DOES NOT MATTER. Only God's does. I know for a fact that there are some people talking about this situation and giving it "their two cents." But I can't concern myself with it because then I'm caring way too much about what people think and not enough about what my God thinks. The only thing we're supposed to do is love because that's what He's commanded us. And that's a command, guys! Not a suggestion. God's not some hippie in the sky saying, "Heeeeeeyy, maaaaan, lets just looove" No. He's an omnipotent God commanding us nobodies to love each other. So, do it.
