I just realized that the wedding is approaching. Recently, Sabrina and I were praying, and it dawned on us that the date is fast approaching. When we first got engaged, we were thinking, “Oh, it’s like a year away. No worries. Plenty of time.”

‘Lo and behold! It’s less than a month and a half away! Egad! I’m not worried (well, I can’t speak for Sabrina) but I’m not anxious. I think we’re both very excited about our future. It’s not so much about the wedding itself, but at the future–the future that God has planned and prepared. I think without that faith in the Lord, a lot of worries would be at the front of our hearts and minds. We would endlessly worry about the future! Reflecting on the Lord’s planning, the wedding comes at the right time. I’ll be done with TMS and I won’t have to drive back and forth. I’m ready to settle down and grow some roots. The Lord is just sovereign; there is a right time for everything.

Any way, I was reminded of Ecc 3:1-8.

[1] There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven–

[2] A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.

[3] A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up.

[4] A time to to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance.

[5] A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.

[6] A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away.

[7] A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak.

[8] A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace.
