feeling 3 but i am 31

so in the past few weeks in preparation to move, marry and become a mrs. i have felt 3... but i am 31. this picture sums up my emotions... big stacks of boxes all around me full of important things me sitting on the floor next to them trying to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

why is this?

i am the luckiest girl in the world...

last night on the one month marker to our wedding... chip threw down all the cards and cooked a feast for me. he has cooked before and it has been dang good but this time he threw it all out there... first of all it was a surprise... when i called to see what he was feeling like for dinner he said ... i got it.

he grilled salmon, fried oysters, boiled shrimp and made a delicious rice concoction. WOW! he broke out the candles ... music... and had the sweetest card for me... ALL OF THIS ... why you must be thinking... did you get into an argument... NO ... simply because he loves me.

i cannot wait to be sarah june thomas... and to my students that McThomas.

The Key of the Greater Work

"...I say to you, he who believes in Me,... greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." - John 14:12

Prayer does not equip us for greater works- prayer is the greater work. Yet we think of prayer as some commonsense exercise of our higher powers that simply prepares us for God's work. In the teachings of Jesus Christ, prayer is the working of the miracle of redemption in me, which produces the miracle of redemption in others, through the power of God.

What an astonishment it will be to see, once the veil is finally lifted, all the souls that have been reaped by you, simply because you have been in the habit of taking your orders from Jesus Christ.

-Oswald Chambers

So last night we purchased "our" first refrigerator. I would like to thank the kind people at HHGreg. As of yesterday I had never dawned the doors... but last night I BECAME A FAN.

i would like to take this moment in time to thank johathan at william-sonoma. he took charge of my registry and DID THE THING... i was wiped out from class and had 1/2 a brain cell left and he took the bull by the horns. he asked the best questions and i might just add him to the list of bridesmaids. he would look great in burnished olive...
