dum dum da dum...

It has HAPPENED! today is the day that my wedding dress was purchased! no way right? I know. It literally makes everything soooo real. It is absolutely perfect and i really just cannot believe it!! ahhhh

Anyways, these last two day have been filled with planning because things are about to get crazy around here. I am trying to get as much done as possible while i can.

Had a great day today. Got to spend some valuable time with some close family and friends. It is always so refreshing!

On another note...a bit more serious one at that, I have been burdened so much lately. Since India, i have realized so many things. One of the many is that there are so many people around me hurting, and need to be reached out to. They need to experience the joy that those little Indian children felt when we played with them and taught them songs and crafts. There are so many people HERE that need me. And like..what am I doing about it? I mean hello? What are we all sitting around doing? It is so easy to get caught up with our lives and what is best for us and what WE have to do, that when a great opportunity come by to serve others, we COMPLETELY miss it. O Father in heaven forgive me for How many times i have missed this! Help me to be more aware. My entire purpose and being is to serve you through serving others..so why do I have a hard time doing that? I mean think about all of those times where something has happened to someone where you could have just reached out but it wasn't "comfortable" for you, or you didn't have "time" to. i pray that we all take a step back and check ourselves to NOT miss these opportunities when they come passing along.

okay so here is a goal I am going to tryyyyy to make happen: step out of my comfort zone and help someone or do something for them that I would not normally do.

Try it?

Beautiful words that have been spoken:
"if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully." Romans 12:8

wow...couldn't of said it better myself.
