So, on this beautiful day my beautiful fiance and I drove to meet our wedding photographer for our engagement photos. April took our photographs outside in the leaves, near an old timey looking red barn, and at an historic war home and in the beautiful garden areas that surrounded the home. It made for a beautiful day, and I thank God that he gave me such a wonderful women to spend it with.....
As we were striking and holding poses for April (the photographer) I did something that I haven't done in quite a while....I stared into Brandy's beautiful eyes. The way they sparkled in the light, and the light striking her face and bringing out her beautiful smile, the way her hair hangs down and outlines her delicate face.....she is gorgeous.
It is so easy to get caught up in our everyday life, and to carry on in life in a zombie like state. Ok, so maybe that's a little drastic, but what I'm saying is it's easy to get caught up in habits, or everyday rituals. Today, God gave me a shrug. It's like He said, "Son, look at the woman that I have given to you, really look at her. Forget everything else going on around you and see her. Take a moment, and love her again." And I did.
So, I want to thank God tonight for my soon to be wife. She is truly a blessing to me. And not that I don't think of her as that everyday, but sometimes I need to be reminded, a refresher of sorts. And it's in these moments as well that I see God's love. For me, for her, forever.
God is such a lover. He shook me and woke me up (again) today, not just for me to see Brandy, but ultimately for me to see Him. I have everything in my life to thank God for, and for these things I thank Him. He showed me today how He loves me. He reminds me of the blessings that he has given to me. And He shows me this because he wants to draw me nearer to Him. He wants to love me as only He can. And He is so good and grand, the way that he reminds me is with a gentle nub, not with pain and hurt, but with love. By reminding me of His love for me, through Brandy's beauty.
God is good.
God is love.
