fast forward x230592
Lord, it’s been crazy beyond belief. july 1-7 doesn’t feel like 7 days, but more like 20 days. wedding planning is no joke. going from philly to maryland to philly to maryland to philly in a span of 7 days is exhausting. moving into the new apartment, cleaning, and furnishing it has been and will take out huge chunks of time. i was gonna go to canada next week to change my visa status for med school but things have become twisted and complicated with international student loan issues so i might have to go to canada the week of the wedding - or worse, cross the border the day before school starts. i hope i never have to write as many emails per day as i am writing right now - wedding stuff, apartment stuff, traveling stuff, visa/loan stuff. i apologize if some of my emails don’t start with a “hello how are you” or end with my name. (silver lining: after this experience, planning a dinner party for 6 people will be such a piece of cake!)
thank you, those of you who are involved in our wedding or helping out in some way, for your patience with my emails/calls and delay in getting schedules and such out. i’m learning so much about God’s grace from the grace you’re extending to me. thank you, awesome wonderful hot fiance, for being such a great supporter, and for always being a source of peace, perspective, and rest. thanks for being so good with my family and for joyfully & willingly spending every single day this past month with them. and thank you Father, for using this month to push me face to face with my inadequacies and sins. teaching me to have patience, grace, generosity, humility. and for bringing my godly parents to america in the month that i need them most.
i am SO looking forward to july 23. this craziness has an expiration date…..
