Light Place

So it's official.  But I guess I probably have some explaining to do.

Most people who read this, if not all, should know by now, but the story hasn't really shot forth with any degree of certainty at any point in time.....but I'm engaged now, engaged to be married, next November, next November 19th, in Findlay, Ohio, it would seem.  Oh, but it would do more than seem...it would be.  It is...to be.


I don't quite feel like turning this into any sort of story time.  There will be a time and a place for some kind of officiality for that sort of thing, on "theknot.com" or whatever...and it's just not my style.

But it happened and it happened wonderfully in a room that started some brilliant things in my life...twice now.

We were in the same room where my small group met Freshman year at Wooster.  It wasn't planned at all...it was just the best spot because all of the other buildings were locked.  I wasn't quite planning to make it happen quite when it happened...but it happened, I just knew it was the right time, so it happened.  I was glad to get the ring box out of my pocket at the time.


It has been a whirlwind ever since, and part of me has felt a little guilty because my outward excitement has been a bit less than most peoples, even though I'm one of the concerned parties...but it's because I've known it was coming for awhile now and ultimately had control over it.  Maybe it's a bit unfair, to that end...the guy gets no surprises.


But I already can't wait, for next November.  I already can't wait for the rest of my life.  Our lives.


Ah, to document those changes, to trace the shift.  I can't wait but I had no idea what to expect...not really, at all. 


God grows us deeper, he grows us stronger, he grows us together sometimes.  And when that happens, the only step to take is often forward.
