This is my life. This is my husband. This is my new road. It has been a long walk since my last post and it is a beautiful place I find myself now standing.
Lets talk about this. I have found the man I will spend my life with. He is beautiful. He is my beloved. He wraps me up in his arms and I am in love. How do I explain to those who may not know what this love feels like. This place of such utter bliss that you can do nothing but smile from within and hope that this can display all that you are feeling.
I found this man, he found me, and we are found by the One who created us.
May I stop and pause and thank Him for this.
You know the day of our wedding. I felt so completely me. I felt as though the Lord had shown me all that I had waited for so long and it was good.
As I walked down the aisle and faced my soon to be husband, I felt like the culmination of all my favorite things came to be at that moment. We exchanged our vows and it was like that perfect song, the one beat that makes you move, feel free within it and just sway to its beautiful sound. It radiated within me. I felt the spirit of the Lord come upon us. It was immediate. My heart changed in that moment. This sounds like some silly story that a girl would tell but it is the truth of my experience. When we exchanged those vows before friends, family, and God I felt the intensity of my commitment. I loved him and was happy to be charged with this task before me. I am happy to be a wife. To be a daughter. To be a Woman.
I must also express how my wedding was, without blemish. Were there hardships, yes. But our day was a day of utter peace and perfection. From the start the Lord was over, in and completely through our wedding. There was no day without Him and the provision given us through our sisters brothers and strangers all the same. I sit back in awe at how it all came together. From a free cake, reception site, photos, linens.....so much I truly can't name it all. He said he would not leave us forsaken and in need and he showed us that so magnificently throughout our entire journey of starting this life together. Thank you.
Thank you to those who partook in our day. To those who prayed for us and continue to do so. Praises and blessings upon you.
Love
Nicci Neace
