Saturday was the Lory family reunion. Normally these are bad to nominal events for me. This one was good, though. We ended up talking about the stories of how all the married couples (and there are a lot) met and ended up marrying. There were some hilarious stories. It seems the Lory's just tend to bungle it as much as possible and in bizarre ways. Namely "Will you marry me?" "Ooo...I think I'm gonna throw up!"
One thing I can't remember if I knew before, but I find extremely interesting, is that my mother didn't want to get married until she was 40. She ended up getting married when she was 18, and she's in a very happy relationship, and it's obvious to see how much she loves my dad.
It just shows me even more that you can't go into life expecting things and try to fight for your own intentions. Each day I need to remember to let go of my own intentions, my own expectations for life, and to ask God what he wants for me, what he wants me to do and see and be. I must deny myself, let go of it all, and follow.
