Worth the wait....

The reasons why I love you can't be counted. It would be like trying to count the stars.
The way that you make me feel cannot be matched by anyone in this world.
God did an awesome job bringing us together - He had our union planned all along.
If there is one thing I can say it is you were worth the wait!

Even though we knew one another growing up, it took us longer to find one another.
But when we did, it has been amazing watching God work out the little pieces.
You and I are meant to be together, meant to do great things for Him.
All I know is, you were definitely worth the wait.

We still have a few days until we unite together with God before our friends and family,
But that does not change the fact that we will, no matter what obstacles we have to overcome.
In Psalm 73:23-24 God tells us He will never leave us,
Which tells me that He was with us on our wait.

There is no man who can separate us from one another or come between this bond,
We will be forever united as a cord of 3 strands with God (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
The love that we have for one another cannot be explained with the human brain,
Because God was showing us that we were worth the wait.

So as our wedding day draws closer and we put the final touches on our plans,
Know that God is with us, He is helping us, guiding us and the center of everything.
No matter what life brings our way, we will overcome with God, Just like He brought us through the times before we were us, so we would remember that we were worth the wait.

We will marry...

I should be so excited right now,

Yet lately all I do is shed tears.

It doesn't seem like I have the wow,

That I have looked forward to all these years.

What is missing you might ask?

The peace, the comfort, the support.

Seems like it's a fight to finish every task,

Never leading to a good report.

Will this ever get better?

When will I feel like I should?

Maybe I should write you a letter,

Or even carve it into wood.

Then you'll understand how sad I am,

How much I wish I could enjoy this time.

Makes me sad to know you'll be fam,

Even causes me to learn to rhyme.

The stress is beyond anything I've known,

It cannot be healthy at this level.

Throughout this time I know I have grown,

I know that God has already beat the devil.

Therefore I will not let your bitterness effect me,

My life will be happy despite what you think.

Very soon he & I will become we,

And you will never make us sink.

Thank You Lord for this man I will marry,

He is beyond my every dream.

He makes me want to sing like a canary,

He always make me beam.

I am me.

This is supposed to be an exciting time...
Yet you seem to keep ruining it.
Who ever said you were in charge of this?
Who ever gave you the control?

I am my own person.
I know what I want.
Don't mistake confidence for cockiness.
Don't treat me like I am the enemy.

Love brought us to this point.
And love will take us to the next.
It will be love that will sustain us,
Whether you want it or not.

Learn your limits.
Learn to be a friend.
Realize that I am not you
Which means I will not do things like you.

Just because I like something one way
And do not incorporate your ideas
Does not mean that I didn't listen,
It doesn't mean that I don't care.

I have my own way of doing things.
My own experiences I am playing from.
If you had taken the time to get to know me
You would know better who I am.

I'm sorry you don't like me
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted
But I am not going to allow you to effect my life
I will continue to carry on.

Maybe someday it will be different.
Maybe we can learn to be friends.
That will require you taking the time to get to know me
And understanding why I am, who I am.
