"Why wait?" Thats the answer we had when people asked us the date we set for our wedding. Four months did not seem like a long engagement to a lot of people, but we didn't want to wait any longer to start our lives.....nothing was holding us back.
One of my favorite books is the Count of Monte Cristo. Many of you know the story or have seen the movie. In the book, Edmond Dantes, spends years in prison desperately preparing a way of escape to meet his intended again and marry her as they had planned before his arrest. The good news we realized is.......We don't have to wait like Dantes!
I don't think God intended for us to continue our lives separately after we knew He wanted us to be together.
Nor does He want us to live separately from Him........Its hard to imagine, but we are supposed to be more dedicated to God than our husbands. Could you imagine what that kind of relationship he might hold for us if we tried to do that? I am learning that slowly.... not to live separately from him; but it is a progression, a journey.
Kelly,
