So Close….

            It is a very surreal feeling to find yourself two days from the most life-changing day of your existence. To have every detail set in place and every person on the way to get where they need to be, all to bring about such a life -altering event.

In two days, I am getting married.

In two days, I am marrying my best friend, the most amazing gift that I never thought I would actually find.

 

I have dreamed of this day ever since I was a little girl, every year the dress would change or the choice of colors, but two things remained the same. I would marry my best friend and I would be hopelessly in love.

 

Many decisions and choices in my life seemed to push this day further and further away from my reality, until one fateful day, I met the man I would spend the rest of my life with. At the most unexpected time, when I felt so restless in the place where my feet stood, love showed its true face. Neither of our lives have ever been the same.

 

We have packed our boxes to begin our new lives. All of the arrangements have been made and the people are beginning to filter in for the day when we start our new lives.

I cannot believe that I am so close.

I never thought I would see this wonderful day.

    Baily, I know you don’t know me….& I know that hearing from me may not mean a whole lot to you. I know your mom very well! First, congrats on your marriage. It is a road that will take you many places, some will be wonderful, some will not be as great, but remember that God is always with you! Even when life gets hard.

    Next, you are an amazing artist! I have studied music for most all of my life. I play several instruments, some include, violin, string bass, bass guitar, cello, viola, piano, drums, & a few more! I directed an orchestra for six years of my life, that was totally awesome! I am a concert violinist! So I believe I know something about music! God is going to use you, wherever He leads you! Your voice is like that of an angel! Use it to glorify God!

    Third, I am a photographer as well, & was wondering who does your pics…they are really good! You don’t see pics like these that often! Kudos to your photographer!

    Hope to get to know you better, -Shannon :o )

WORDS:


You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying. To run by running, to work by working. And just so, you learn to love by loving. Begin as a mere apprentice, and the very power of love will lead you to become a master of the art. -St Francis of Sales

"If you want to work on your art, work on your life." Chekhov

"Lord, grant me to desire more than I can accomplish." Michelangelo

"If there is a real woman-even the trace of one-still there inside the grumbling, it can be brought to life again. If there's one wee spark under all of those ashes, we'll blow on it til the whole pile is red and clear." -C.S. Lewis

"The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." Luke 18:27

“Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more.” -Mother Teresa

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it careful round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable… The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers… of love is Hell.” -C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

"In art, either as creators or participators, we are helped to remember some of the glorious things we have forgotten, and some of there terrible things we are asked to endure, we who are children of God by adoption and grace." 'Madeleine L'Engle, Walking on Water
