Tension is real folks. My shoulders have been permanently knotted now for weeks and weeks. And trust me, it has taken little to heap knots on top of those knots here lately.
This past week has been a nightmare. Just when I felt like were about to get a grip on all the little details, the bottom fell out. Or seemed to anyway. Rain, rain and more rain. Storm after storm. Those of you living in Middle Tennessee, particularly Clarksville, know exactly what I'm talking about.
The real stresser began when the rain didn't. The chosen reception site is on the Cumberland River. One of the reasons we chose it was because of the location. Even though we booked in the dead of winter, we could immediately envision the beauty it would be surrounded with in the height of Spring. And it will be gorgeous. But I have to admit that with all the recent rains and the constant reminders of the horrible floods a year ago, I was panicking. Actually to the point of frantically searching for a back-up location.
But even as we were searching, I knew we could not find a place that would compare. So many plans have already been made for that location. And even though the day is not here yet, we all see the place filled to the brim with friends and newlywed happiness.
I never doubt God. But I am horrible about losing sight of his plans and sweating the small stuff. And with something as important and special as the wedding of Miss Priss and her man, it's been even worse. So I believe God means for me to take something away from this past week of wildly unstable weather. I think He's showing me that these tension knots were formed by nothing - compared to what could have been. He is in control and the sun is out . . .
So I left work a little early today, got a massage and have decided to trust in Him for the weather, the things still to be done and to do everything I can to relax and truly enjoy the next 15 days. Because with this one - there are no do-overs :)
