Ready Or Not!

I was about 6 years old when the dream began...one day I would be a wife and a mom. I have dreamed about my life and I have spent many years preparing to be a Godly wife and mother. I have had a dream but for some reason, God waited 31 years to answer my prayers, dreams and wishes. I had a time in my life when I was with the person who I thought I would marry. I thought I had it all together and that I was ready to be a wife and I was ready to give up my single life. I was ready to give up some of my independence and to be with someone for the rest of my life. I thought I was ready to be the kind of wife that God wanted me to be. I was wrong. God had other plans..God removed all men from a life for a period of time so that He could prepare my heart to truly be a Christian wife and one day a mother. I am three weeks away from marrying the man that God has put in my life as HIS ONE for me. What has been interesting about this time of preparing to be married is that I have realized that I have a lot to learn about truly being a wife and I have a lot of learning to do. I know that I am ready but I still have fears that pop in my head...am I really ready? what if I screw things up? how is life going to change? what do I need to do to prepare for the changes? am I ready for a lifetime with my man? is he ready for a lifetime with me? The journey to marriage has been one filled with happiness, confusion, joy, questioning, reassurance, excitement, and lots of getting to know HIS ONE.

Am I ready? Ready or not marriage...here I come!
