I actually have time to blog, can you believe it?? Too bad I’m on my brother’s laptop and can’t upload any pics.
I’m at my mom’s doing laundry and I have a cold. I’m all by myself too. YAY!
So lately, I’ve been a bit nervous about getting married, but I hear that cold feet are quite common. I don’t doubt my soon to be hubby – I doubt myself (as usual). I’m just so scared of making a mistake and this is the most important decision of my life! When I was talking to him about it this afternoon, he assured me that there will always be someone that is smarter, wittier, more attractive, patient and wealthy, but that God put us together. haha, that doesn’t sound like encouragement, but trust me – it put my heart at ease. Sometimes the “what if’s” get so loud, I can’t hear the symphony of love in my heart. Stinkin devil!!
Anyway, I can’t think of a single person that hasn’t sent us blessings and love. Everyone I know is going out of their way to make my day special and let me know how happy they are for me. It truly warms my heart. I’m signing off for now to get back to the laundry and I wanted to play the piano a little (which I never get to do anymore) . . .
Here’s my encouragement to you: anyone that doesn’t doubt themselves going into marriage probably shouldn’t be marrying the person they’re engaged to. How can you marry someone you feel like you deserve to marry? That’s putting yourself at the same level or above that person. You know I have a fairly good amount of self confidence. There’s only two times in my life I have doubted myself so much I almost turned around: when I was walking up to Sarah to meet her the first time, and it took me five hours from the time I picked her up for our first date (as friends) to ask her to be my girlfriend. If I didn’t know she was going to say yes (from previous conversations), I would have been shaking scared when I asked her to marry me.
This might surprise you, but you’re quite normal.
You’ll be fine. Your misgivings just prove your love for him.
Thanks Jeff – that actually helps a lot!!
