A Perfect Wedding

Niki and I were married on December 12th, at a little Chapel in Winona Lake, Indiana. It was a bright and clear day, and she was absolutely beautiful. A small group of family and friends attended, and my grandmother surprised me by making the drive in from Chicago by herself. What a nice treat!

I have a heart full of gratitude, because God has blessed me. I am so happy that my heart was open enough to allow that blessing, that I didn't dwell on loss, even while battling with it every day. He certainly has a plan. I've always known there is one, even though I never understand where it's going, or where I am along the way. I trust in Him, and thank God for bringing Niki into my life.

I am excited about the future, my future with Niki.

    "For I know the plans I have for you, plans of good and not of evil, a plan to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, I will listen to you, and you will seek Me and find Me when you search for me with all your heart, and I will be found by you declares the Lord. And I will restore your fortunes..." Jeremiah 29:11-14
