I, rather we have made it to married life, the relations have all left after the wedding,  my new amazing wife has left for work, I'm left  here just catching up on things. It also has given me time to reflect on the past 6 months.

I was reading this morning in Exodus 37 about Bazalel building the furniture for the tabernacle and the thought struck me how God had everything planed to the smallest degree nothing was left to chance nothing left to artistic licence. Bazalel had to follow the master’s plan directly.

I think forward to another major event in the world where God had things planned to the tiniest degree- the life and death of His son. His Son followed His Father's plan perfectly as did those around whether they were aware or not. God wasn't sitting or pacing backwards and forwards wondering if His redemption plan would work or not, no He had it sorted. His amazing salvation plan unfolded before Him even as He turned from our sins placed on His Son He knew the outcome as did His Son, the Joy!

Fast forward another 2000 odd years he is still not taken by surprise, even when 6 months ago I seen my future wife on Facebook and we started to chat and chat and chat, He knew what He was doing with us, he knew that 6 months down the line we would be getting married on a wee farm in the middle of Florida on a beautiful warm sunny day. We may have been franticly trying to get everything sorted for the big day, praying it wouldn't rain or be too hot, but as  with our God we needn't have worried as He had it all sorted. 

It’s with this confidence; I pray we go into our married life together, knowing that He is before us making our way straight. As we stumble and fumble through married life we like Christ have an amazing Joy set before us but of course we don’t often see it so easily, it gets fogged by our selfish ambition and desires! I pray that the 2 of us would see Christ rather that our own desires.

Thank you my Father for bringing me to here in a place I never thought I would be, I pray I can trust you for the rest of our lives together.
