knowing me...

1. my 23-year-old sister is getting married in a few short days which is really wonderful.
2. i am standing up with her as her maid of honor. it truly is an honor.

1 + 2 = me very nervous

why, do you ask?
well really, it's very simple. and probably not for reasons you may imagine.

you see, i'm a klutz. it's no secret. i've embraced it. from tearing clothes, to falling while walking up the stairs, to spilling coffee any time i drink it in any kind of cup that does not have a top, it's pretty obvious. and while i am happy with the ungraceful girl the good Lord has made me, this time my clumsiness is making me considerably nervous.

this is my sister's big day we're talking about here. and she's asked me to be in front of all those people. boy, ellie, are you sure you made a good decision there? not only am i nervous about the actual ceremony and walking down the aisle in heels and making sure ellie's dress lays prettily for the photos, and all, but i'm nervous about this time before the actual wedding. i'm afraid i'll slip on the ice and break my leg, or i'll get deathly ill, or i'll get in a car accident, or i'll, or i'll, or i'll!

oh brother. and it's not even me that's getting married! i think i need to pray that i can bring peace, not anxiety to ellie in these next few days. amen? amen.

12/12 global day of prayer

pray for HOPE
