“Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16

Something to think about and I pray you meet Him personally and give your fears over to God. He can be trusted.

In exactly one month, I will be landing in Cape Town South Africa. EEKS!

If all of this is being learned through this project, how much more is in store to be learned through the actual marriage itself.  I see a resounding theme.  Marriage isn't easy.  But what great thing is ever easy?  I love the lyrics in a song, "If it doesn't hurt, then you aren't loving hard.  Look at Jesus on the cross, he got a ton of scars..." The ultimate portrait of sacrificial, undefiled pure love between Christ and His bride, the Church.  I can't wait to share more and if anything, I hope what I'm learning inspires someone else.
