79 days and praying..

I am 79 days out until I have a boy as a roommate and 79 days until I become Lyndsey Meredith Williams. I will be the happiest girl in the WORLD in just 11 short weeks!

I am trying hard to rest in these short weeks. We are trying desperately to have fun in planning this wedding and enjoy the engagements period. Lately that has been extremely hard. We don't know what we are doing in July 3. (when we return from our honeymoon) We don't know where we will be living, where we will be working, or a lot of the time where I will graduate college from. We have been looking TIRELESSLY for jobs to no avail though. There have proved to be no opportunities in Brownwood (just as we suspected) and with the job we were placing hope on falling through, we are stuck! Our next move has become looking in Abilene for jobs and praying hard for something to come up. Ideally, if we move to Abilene, I will commute 3 times a week to HPU and do my internship in Abilene. It will make for a very busy semester and first year of marriage, but it'll be worth it.

Some people have said we are crazy for "rushing" the marriage. Some people don't quite understand why we didn't just wait another year to be married when school wouldn't hold me back. Well to that I say...God. There may be some selfish reasons thrown in there too. (Like changing my countdown from 79 to 444) But we know that God called us to be married this summer. Last summer we began praying (without anyone knowing mind you) that God would show us the time to be married. We felt like God answered when certain events and conversations took place with my family. We are confident that God has called us to be married June 26, 2010!

He is for us and we are confident in that. He will provide and job and an apartment in HIS timing. As for now we will continue to pray and seek and live in a way that honors him. I invite you to join us in praying as well.
