Everywhere I’ve been going recently God has been teaching me something… just like He typically does. Now He’s teaching me how it’s not about me. Maybe it’s because I’m in this season of engagement and wedding planning when most things revolve around my future marriage and I. It’s the topic of discussion amongst most of my conversations, the bride is in charge of everything, and everyone just seems to be turning to me… but it’s not about me.
I’ve been reading You and Me Forever by Francis and Lisa Chan and woah it’s good and a major gut check. It’s been teaching me so much.
First
Our wedding, our engagement and our marriage means nothing if God isn’t the main focus. The idea of marriage is based off the gospel and that has never been made more clear to me than through engagement.
Second
Everything on this earth really does not matter. My wedding doesn’t matter, my clothes don’t matter.. nothing except if I spent my life glorifying Him or not. When I get to heaven someday God is not going to talk about how my wedding had the most boujee flowers, the most luxurious venue… He’s going to ask me how I glorified Him.
Whenever I’ve been getting stressed about wedding planning or something has gone wrong I have been having to remind myself.. how much of this actually matters in the long run.
My life is meant to glorify Him.
My wedding is meant to glorify Him.
My marriage is meant to glorify Him.
If it doesn’t, then it’s a waste.
Be For The Kingdom.
XOXO,
E.
