Thinking

Dear You,

I've always been a thinking person...sometimes, it's been more of a bad thing than a good thing.  I tend to get myself caught up in thinking about everything from clothes to world hunger.  However, I often think a lot about you and what our life together will look like someday.

I think about our wedding and what a beautiful day it will be.  I picture me in an ivory lace dress holding a bouquet of flowers and my dad's arm; at the same time, I picture you standing at the front of the church waiting for me to meet you.  I think about what it will feel like when the church doors open and our eyes meet for the first time.  Will I cry?  Will you cry?  What will I be thinking about as I walk down the aisle to meet you?

One thing that's always been consistent in my thinking is that I always pictured myself married young.  For pete's sake, my mom was pregnant with me when she was my age and even my grandma had a baby too, so my models for relationships are all young moms.  Now that I'm 2 weeks away from 22, I realize that my dream of being a young wife and mom probably won't come true.  I'm not over the hill by any means, but the way I thought my life would end up isn't happening.  There are times when I wish things were different and that you and I were together already...I'm not going to lie, waiting for you is one of the hardest things I've ever done!  However, I am slowly realizing that God knows exactly what He's doing; even though my plans aren't working out, His are right on track.

So I'll just keep thinking but at the same time, I'll be expectant for what's to come.  I don't want to think so much that my expectations of you are too unrealistic.  I don't want to imagine this perfect little life and then be disappointed when things aren't like I pictured.  I'll allow God to bless me with a love only He can script and will wait for His plans to unfold.

Thinking about you,
