the final days

Well, here it is 10 days before my wedding and I haven't been admitted to Whitfield yet. Someone actually told me I look calm this morning (I was sitting at the Seattle Drip writing thank-yous while Trey worked). And, I do feel more calm the closer the time comes. I'm probably more worried about moving right now than worried about the wedding.

I am looking forward to going home with Trey, waking up with Trey, (of course) sleeping with Trey, fighting over the sink with Trey. Fortunately the townhouses have two and 1/2 baths, so if we ever have to go at the same time, we won't have to fight over the bathroom. We have already been given so many wonderful gifts for our home--new, nice things. I've never had so many lovely things all at once. What a wonderful way to start off.

The Lord is blessing us so richly, and I find myself expecting something horrible to happen so that things even out. I'm not sure where I got the idea that bad things always come along with the good. But we are thankful, and Trey is trying to help me enjoy the good without worrying about things that aren't here or haven't happened. I realized the other day that resting in the Lord means even when circumstances are happy, I am to find my joy and peace in the Lord. Fixing my eyes on Jesus means that I don't find my comfort from things around me, good or bad. Always, always I look to the Lord. I'd never thought of that for some reason.

Anyway, there you have thoughts of the day from Hilary.
