5 years ago....

Five years ago today I married the most wonderful man! I love thinking about our wedding day. On that day I experienced one of the greatest feelings of peace I have ever had. I had spent 11 months planning EVERY detail of our wedding. If you know me at all you know that I have a tendency to really stress out about things, especially big events that I plan or am in charge of. Everyone (including Gus) expected me to be a total Bridezilla that worried and stressed over all the details on that day. However I still remember the overwhelming sense of peace I woke up with that day. I knew that everything was perfectly in place. I don't mean the details such as the flowers, decorations, or food, but our marriage, our union was all that mattered. I could have cared less if the church looked perfect, my hair was in place, or everyone thought it was a beautiful wedding. All I cared about was becoming Gustavo's wife. If that was the result of the day then everything was PERFECT! God filled me with such a joy and peace. I was 100% sure that this was exactly God's will for my life. I have questioned God on many occasions. I've asked questions such as why? Is this really what you want for me? How can this be right? Are you sure, God? But not on July 19, 2003. I never questioned, never doubted, never hesitated. It was the perfect day because we were joined together. We made a covenant to God and to each other. We became husband and wife! I still feel that peace when I think about the man of God I call my husband. Thank you, Lord for blessing my life in such an incredible way! Thank you for that day 5 years ago and every day since that we have served you together. Thank you for the many, many more we have to go!
