Wedding Planning

There are so many things involved in planning a wedding. It has been a fun experience, but then at times it does get a little bit overwhelming. The other day a coworker was asking me if I had bought my wedding dress yet. When I informed her that I had not yet found my wedding gown, but I have found the bridesmaid dress that I want my girls to wear she informed me that she was amazed that I was more concerned with picking out my bridesmaid dresses before I had picked out my wedding gown.

The truth is that it was a lot of fun picking out the bridesmaid dress and since my bridesmaids are a little bit spread out (one lives in Nevada) it was easier to pick out dresses online so all of the girls could get a chance to look at them before I decided on them. Now the real fun begins as I start searching for my wedding gown. I am really excited to continue the search. So many friends and coworkers have suggested good stores to try and find the perfect gown.

I have even ordered my flower girl dresses. I had to order them online since I need a size 18 months up to a size 10 in girls. My three nieces are going to be my flower girls. They are so excited that they get to dress up and look like princesses. My nieces are aged 18 months, 6 years and 7 years old. It is going to be so much fun to have them in the wedding. I am having my two nephews age 3 and 8 as ring bearers. They get to wear little tuxedos.

So many things to plan, but it has been fun. Hopefully I can keep myself organized throughout the whole process.

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?" I remember being taught this when I was pretty young. Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything. In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with. Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Unfortunately, this saying is not true either. Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other. There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below. It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Trust in God

Today while watching Superbook with my children the theme of the episode was to trust in God. "Trust in God and He will show the way." Do we really understand what it means to trust God? Can we truly comprehend this statement? It's easy when things are going our way. It can be easy when things aren't going our way, but life is still going well. However, do you still trust God when life is hard? When everything seems to be going wrong in life? Do you trust God through the hard stuff? There is an old time song that says "The God on the mountain is still God in the valley. When things go wrong, you know that He will make them right. The God of the good times is still God in the bad times and the God of the day, is still God in the night." Think about the words to that song. No matter what, God is still God. He still has control over the outcome. Recently, my mom and I were talking an...

Walk with God

In my current Bible study, we are reading in Genesis. At the beginning it is talking about how God comes down in the cool of the evening and talks with Adam and Eve. Can you imagine that? God literally comes and walks and talks with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Then in Genesis chapter 6 verse 8 states "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord." and then in verse 9, it ends by saying "Noah walked with God." Think about that for a minute. In a world where everything is going crazy and God is questioning why he made the world because there is so much evil in it that He is going to send a flood and destroy the earth. Can you imagine the world is as evil as it gets but the Bible states "And Noah walked with God." That is such a profound statement. Can you say that about your life? No matter the chaos in the world or what is happening around you, people look at your life and all they can say is "And Valerie walked ...
