From My Heart
Hello, my friends! I'm sorry that I haven't posted in so long. I've been trying to compose this post for several days now but just wasn't able to get the words out right.
As most of you know, last weekend was a pretty tough one. Starting on Thursday and lasting even up into this week. Tough. Alot harder than I thought it would be. There were tears. There were phonecalls, texts, hugs, and conversations.... and all those were accompained by tears. Tears I didn't want to shed, but that came without bidding. The greatness of the loss came over me like sea billows on Thursday and throughout the time since. Loss of so many things... it's not just about a wedding that didn't happen. It's not just about a broken relationship. It's about souls. It's about souls that will miss Heaven if they don't find Jesus precious to their hearts again. It's about hurt that has been inflicted on the Body of Christ. That's what it is about. It's really sad.
I don't want those billows to cease, because they give me a renewed urgency and fervor to hold on and to be DESPERATE for God to work. I will not be satisfied until the miracle happens and there is peace and reconciliation again. I know what God has promised and because of the promise and because of the loss I will be DESPERATE until God performs the impossiblities.
So yes, the weekend/week has been tough. But it's also been very good. Through this God showed me areas that I need to move up in. God was faithful to lead me once again. And He was also, full of Grace. His Grace that sustained and held me throughout the weekend and these hard days this week. God's amazing Grace, has comforted me and given me peace even in the midst of the darkest storm of my life. I'm so thankful for the Arms of my Heavenly Father and for His continual leadership and faithfulness to me.
My "was-to-be" wedding day is over, and there are no more dates looming in the future that I will face. The wedding day was the close of a chapter of my life. Now it's on to the next one. And the title of this one?
" When man's impossiblities and FAITH meet God's Power there is Miracles."
Just words today, coming straight from my heart. I'm writing for me, because I never want to forget the emotions I am feeling, and most importantly I never want to forget the lessons I am learning along the way. This blog is my journal. My way to remember. My journey in words through love, loss, and eventually my Miracle.
Hope you all have a Blessed Wednesday!

Living For A Miracle
So I've been thinking alot about how different this week and next would have been if Nathan and I were still together. We would be down to less than a week of when we would have been Mr. & Mrs. I would have been tending to last minute wedding details, anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Bridal Party (as none of them live here), and counting down the hours til I would be Nay's wife. But instead today, I am cleaning the carpet here at home, cleaning the back porch, and other non-essential things like that. So yeah, it's weird, to think about that. It seems strange to realise how different my life would be. I struggled for awhile, with the whole wedding thing. I didn't want to think about not getting married. I didn't want to face June 10th, with no ceremony... no Groom... no White dress... no anything happening that day. But you know what? I'm not struggling anymore. Why? Because back then I was living in for a wedding. Now, I'm living for a miracle.
Living for a miracle that God has promised me. One that is so beautiful and amazing that I cannot even begin to explain it. God took my focus off of June 10th, and instead placed it on a miracle that's coming... In His time. The "manna from Heaven" verse in the sidebar of my blog today, talks about God knowing my times. He knows exactly when the miracle is going to happen. He knows when that day of Wedded Bliss will come. He knows the exact date that I'll wear that White Dress and walk down the aisle to that Groom. He knows. And all He asked me to do was trust. Trust His Words... Trust His plan... and know that He will ALWAYS keep His promises.
So my friends, these days leading up to what would have been my Wedding Day, are not filled with fear, pain, and tears. They are filled with Hope, Anticipation and Joy, because I am living every moment of every single day for My PROMISED Miracle.
Happy Saturday, My friends! Rejoice in the Lord, for in Him we have peace, joy, and GREAT expectancy. Remember, the miracle could happen today!
