Ben and I are getting married in less than 6 days. It's been so much fun trying to put this stuff together and I am glad I got to do most of what I wanted. I was very careful with the way we spend our money, but at the same time, I am pretty pleased with it. The reason why we didn't have to spend so much money on the wedding is because we have great and talented friends who can help us out. Their will, their efforts, and their hearts really showed us that we are loved.I was saying to Ben the other day just how lucky we are. We were lucky because we have a bunch of close friends that really loves us and are willing to go great lengths for us. Sure, we don't have a lot of people that are waiting in line to be us or to be liked by us but Ben and I knew that we have more than a handful of people who will be there for us no matter what.

One thought leads to another. This gets me thinking...
Ben and I were analyzing one day, as we always do, what kind of people we are and how others feel about us and react to us. One thing we agreed on is that we will never be the prince and princesses among all our friends. We have also decided that we will never be looked up to as the people who got it all together or people who makes others envy. It was interesting to see that God has a different role for us with a different purpose. Ben and I serve as leaders and teachers. We are the encouragers, and we are the forefront in the battle that lead great wars. Thinking about this makes me so excited for to serve God by being who he made us to be.

Prayers
Pray for Ben and I that our wedding day will be special. Pray for Ben to find a job. Pray for us to have enough money to go on a sweet honeymoon. Love you all. Sam
