Change

Change. Such a small word, but soo much meaning there. Like Hope. Faith. Grief. Grace. Courage. Love. The weight behind these words, and the depth of meaning can fill your heart, whether it be with joy, pain, or optimism. Change holds this meaning for me, partly because I've been through so much of it in the past years. I never thought I would get adjusted throughout the move and all of the simple every day trials that came along with it. My sister Bethany and my favorite buddy Ian moving back in. Dad looking for a job. Finding a job. Molly engaged. Bethany engaged. Life hasn't really slowed down and I can't really see that happening in the near future. Once again, life is about to turn upside down once again. My adorable, hilarious, crazy best friend and sister, Molly, is going to be married in less than two weeks. Yeah. You heard me.

LESS THAN TWO STINKING WEEKS.

Ahh.

It wouldn't be so hard if she weren't moving across the country. San Diego, California, watch out she's on the way!! Her fiance Lynn, is stationed in San Diego and is awaiting her coming with eyes filled with rapture and joy in the coming of his bride-to-be. I couldn't be happier for them.

I realized yesterday that I haven't been apart from her for more than two weeks in my entire life, (I might add that those two weeks were when she went to visit Lynn on his graduation from boot. But I'm not bitter;).

Most exclaim that these two are much too young, being 19 and 20 upon their wedding day. But I say that's crap. Let me explain. Yeah, they're stinking young buuut, the way I see it is, they couldn't really NOT get married right now. Let me explain. They're both so on fire for God, that, that's what their relationship is based on; and they'll be SO much better together, than they are apart. So much better for God. Not to mention HAPPIER. Like wooahh... :) So you see, it really is a good thing. Good. But hard. For pretty much all of us, but Lynn. :P

One of my friends explained change to me like this, "when change happens, a little piece of you has to die, to make room for something new." Now, a piece of me isn't dying, but a piece of my soul IS leaving me and moving across the country.

Molly has been my twin (3 years older) ever since we were little. Our bedtime changed at the same time, we were allowed to watch the same movies (spiderman comes to mind) at the same time, and through the move we got a TON closer.

I know this will be amazing for her and I'm so excited for the both of them! My other sister April flew in last week and since we've been having a constant girl party including Sandra who came up for bridal party pictures. :) :) I reeally wish I could post them.... but not til after the wedding!!! :)

Through this I'm hoping God will teach me that He is all I need and that I shouldn't have to depend on others for my happiness. Though it helps. :) God is so good, and I'm so excited to see what comes of this new chapter in their/our lives. :)

Have a great day, and pray for me!!! They're not kidding when they say weddings are stressful..... :P but I'm STILL not gonna say she's a bridezilla....yet.......;)

In Christ Alone!
