Every Girl's Dream

Sorry to all the men out there, but this day was bound to come sooner or later. The day you'd excitedly click the "view blog" button, only to find a post specifically targeted to my female readers. But don't worry, just read on.

It is every girl's dream, to wear a white dress, walk down the aisle, and say, "I DO." Marriage is a beautiful thing. It's not always a bed of roses, but when both partners learn to communicate, compromise and support each other no matter what obstacles come their way, it can work.

Last year, I had the opportunity to attend a few weddings. Thought I'd share a few photos from the weddings I attended on 2011. To all my dear friends and relatives who got married last year, Congratulations on your new status and May the Good LORD bless your marriages.

Hello 2011...Oops! I mean 2012 :-)

We're already two weeks into the New Year. Isn't it amazing when you think of what you've been through in the last year and how far you've come and how much stronger you've become through good and bad times? Well my dear reader, as you go through this New Year, remember to put God first in everything you do, and you shall not be disappointed.

I got this message from a friend, and thought of sharing it with you. As you begin the New Year, remember to:

1. Look back and THANK God.
2. Look forward and TRUST God.
3. Look around and SERVE God.
4. Look within and FIND God!

Thank Him for everything He has done, everything He is doing and everything He shall do. We may tire, stumble or fall using our own strength, but if we depend on God for strength we shall soar.

Have a blessed 2012!
