Something Good.

Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somwhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truthFor here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good (lyrics from the sound of music)
I didn’t have a wicked child hood… but my youth leaves little to be desired.
I feel like I’m at this part of this movie right now. Wondering what I did in my life that I derserve the most amazing man EVER! He’ll kill me for writing this… but it’s true.
If there were a checklist of all the things that make a man a man… my man would be in the top 10. I find myself overwhelmed with being treated like such a princess. I am well aware that I am spoiled and plan to always know that and never to expect it.
A women came up to me in church and told me that I was the luckiest woman in the world to be with him! At first I smiled and was almost taken aback about her enthusiasm towards him. I knew and continue to find out daily just how blessed I am. I’ve never had anyone want to take care of me, make sure I’m safe and healthy, and work so incredible hard to make me happy. Karl is truly a man of God and strives to be the best. I’ve never been so proud of anything in my life… then to be with him.
I really am the luckiest girl in the world and I thank God for that everyday!
Brothers…
Last night at my churches 20-something group, Mosaic, my brother Jared led worship. I was SO proud of him and praising God for how blessed I am.
Then it hit me… my brotherly blessing are about to multiply. Within eyeshot I could see three of my brothers! Two of them are my soon to be brothers in law. I always thought about having a sister in law and how fabulous that would be. Which it will be, I’m getting the best! I never really thought about adding brothers to the family. Jared can never be replaced… if you know him you know that would be hard to do.
My heart is so excited to have these men as an extention of my family. They are all SO different and yet I love them all. God is so good and is revealing just how blessed I am. I knew I was above and WAY beyond what I deserve, but I am daily blown away by what he is doing.
I don’t remember the last time my heart was so full of joy for my future. I am marrying the man of my dreams and my family is expanding and that makes my heart skip a beat everyday.
