It's About to be New ... (#WifeWorthy Diaries)

Please forgive me for being selective with this post, but with us being dead-center in the spring/summer seasons, there's a lot going on. Proms, graduations, births and celebrations of all kind. But, for the celebration that is  most relevant to the reason for my writing today, wedding season! 'Tis the season for matrimonies and wedding cakes. Bridesmaids dresses, tuxedo rentals, flower arrangements... OH MY!
If you are readying to move forward with your nuptials, this post's for you...
(And even if you are waiting in expectation for someone to one day bend his knee and whip out a diamond, this one is for you too.)
There is always so much planning behind a wedding day. It's extremely stressful. A woman is planning her most sacred day, and it's a fascinating process. Color swatches, hair styles, song and invitation lists. There are lists on top of lists. I thought I was going to lose my mind when I was planning our wedding some years ago, but that mostly had to do with my obsession with being in charge of every aspect of my wedding.
But I digress...
The big day when you marry your boo should be well-planned and as fabulous as you would like. You should have everything that you want and, if not, the best that is at your disposal.
After all, everything in your life is about to change.

1 Corinthians 5:17

 

"This means that anyone who belongs to

Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone;

a new life has begun!"

 

Whether you acknowledge it or not, marriage is a sacred covenant between you, your husband and God. Promises are being made, plans are being formulated and transformations are being processed. Your entire life is about to change:

-Your name will change.

-If you are having children, your body will change.

-Your finances are about to change.

-Your personal space is about to be invaded permanently.

-Your address might even change.

Everything about a woman changes when she gets married. She is the feminine half of couple.

The wedding is just the first hill of the rollercoaster. When you are exchanging vows, that's the very top before the first rapid, stomach-dropping, uncontrollable screaming drop.

It knocks the wind out of you at first.

Being married is beginning a new life. You left single behind you, and you are a wife. That's major! And any form of growth will come with up's and down's. That's what happens with expansion and changes. Things must be adjusted to and you have to find your comfort zone. At least a temporary one until your next phase of growth begins.

Don't let me scare you. Marriage is fab. I believe it's something that every woman should experience. But there is no being totally prepared for it. No matter what advice you get at the bridal shower and bachelorette party, you have embrace your new life.

You're leaving the old one behind at "I do"...
