OH my goodness I'm getting married!

 Of course, I know that marriage is a lifelong decision and that divorce is bad, but I read something in my "Preparing for Marriage" book that totally changed the way I thought about marriage. In the book, it was emphasized that my wedding vows are a mucho mucho significant really important decision because it is a vow that I make to Kevin, but also to God that I will stay with Kevin forever and that I will be committed to him.  So the reason why God hates divorce is not just because I am breaking a vow I made to another human, but because that would mean I would be breaking a promise I made to him.  WHOAAAA BABY! WAY to scare me.

I don't know about you, but I've never made a promise to God, at least not a serious one to him, ever. So to think about making a promise to God or entering into an agreement with the Creator and King of the Universe.  uh, can we say daunting? scary? Freak out? And why would he even allow me this honor? I mean, for a fact, I would never plan on breaking my vows to Kevin. After all, he has been good to me, he's my best friend, and I tend to be loyal to people, and definitely will be loyal to him, but when I realized there was a God piece to the "I do" promise, I felt like God added a "You better be serious" element to the end of that.   

Now don't worry, the engagement is still on because I still am going to marry Kevin.  BUT this epiphany I had affected me alot. In fact, it took away all stress in the wedding planning.  I'm more focused on doing what I can to start this crazy crazy journey. I'm on my knees, and I'm sure I'l be learning many more lessons along the way.  Yup, this is the just the beginning.
