Life is abuzz with preparations for my sister Julie and I as we ready our house to put it up for sale...pulling weeds and laying sod. I'm collecting cardboard boxes so that I can begin packing up all of my belongings, putting my furniture on Craigslist in hopes that it might sell, and simultaneously searching for a job in Washington via the internet. Meanwhile, Dan is in hot pursuit of an apartment for us to live in and the best moving plan to relocate me and my belongings there as well as helping me with my job search and finalizing our honeymoon plans (which are a surprise for me).
I think we might even qualify as being busier than bees!
Bees were also the theme at my bridal shower, earlier this month. Hosted by Reidi Lott and her daughter, Lindi, who are longtime family friends, the party was incredible! Reidi went above and beyond in her preparations and decorations.
The theme was "Meant to Bee" and she had a customized banner with our names on it, personalized honey jars for each guest to take home, and three "beehives" of delicious, homemade bee cupcakes. A beautiful gourmet buffet was laid out for the 60 plus friends and family members she invited on my behalf. It was a lovely and very special celebration that I wish Dan's Mom and sisters-in-law could have attended as well.
In all of our busyness and stress, Dan and I are trying hard to maintain our sanity and keep our focus on the Holy God who has a perfect plan for our future. Having witnessed His plan that orchestrated our meeting one another in Colorado and a romance that blossomed over 3,000 miles of distance, it's not too difficult to believe that He isn't finished with us yet and that He will indeed work out all of the details of the months and years ahead. So why not start with trusting Him with today, right?
Please keep us in your prayers as we strive to do just that.
