Engagement

As of last night on November 11th at 11:11, I am promised to be married to Andrew Tyler LeJeune. I am so thankful for this man. He is such a treasure to behold. His faith and love for the Lord bring such warmth to my heart. He challenges me deeply in my belief in the Lord. I am so excited to spend all my days on earth next to his side as we chase after the Father's renown. I pray the Lord continues to receive glory forevermore through our love for one another.

There is a lot I feel I have yet to learn about love. I know it will be a life long discovery of what it means to truly love people. I thank God for the opportunity to understand and know His character in a unique and beautiful way because of Andrew's love and care. I am excited about being his wife. I know all my dreams, visions, and delights will be safe under his leadership because of his deep passion to follow the Savior.

Thanks be to God for delighting my heart! He is the giver of all that is more than I could ever have asked for or imagined. I am so thankful. I am thankful for our beloved friends who were there to help make my engagement night glorious and Christ centered. I love you all very much! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My cup runneth over. It is so full. So many blessings that my heart cannot even contain. The Lord's wisdom surpasses all understanding. He is a wise King. The Lover of my soul has kissed me with a thousand kisses. He is a sweet lover and knows what I desire. Thank you dear sweet Jesus. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you. I love Andrew.

Delight

My life looks nothing like I ever imagined it would. I can honestly say I feel strange living in my own skin at times. The longings of my heart are overwhelming. The sense of how much I need to trust devastating. So many unknowns. So many big possibilities. So much to hope for. The main one: becoming more like Christ Jesus. My vocabulary is shot for how to express myself, even to the Lord. It's a good thing we can just sit together and I don't ever have to talk for him to understand me. There is nothing more that I want than to delight myself in the Lord all the days of my life. I crave peace with every step. I long to be delighted by Him in so many ways. I want to fall in love with Him with every good thing that delights my heart.
