She Weds

I've been invited to Your wedding. Never have I danced, but your arms beckon my movement.
Crystal stars decorate your overlapping vineyard and the sleeping beauty creation has awaken to dance on the river of joy. Wine runs deep in our bellies to reminds us we are free.

"I do" ring through the forests and the rocks, who now cry out "The bridegroom has come." Let the eyes of Israel fall on his strength. The children's laughter swims deep in the hearts of men and the His graces give way to Zions feet.

She is Wed.

Jesus I will mediated on your majestic glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles.

Soon to be Laura Elizabeth Edwards!

I am getting married in a few months. Really crazy. Andy has successfully surprised my all this way, first with asking me on a date, then with telling me that he loved me and now with asking me to be his wife. Life is good.

And he did a great job with the proposal. Located just outside of the city of Austin is this wonderful vineyard. He took me there, filled my hears with "Baby I want you" by Amos Lee (sp?) and his sweet words but I all I could see were his eyes filling with tears, which spoke way deep down to the core of my heart - this man loves me. To know that you are really loved by someone, to know they love you and fully enjoy your company is life giving.

Love is this crazy life giving circle. I love Andy for so many reasons, but one big one is because he loves me. And I think Andy loves me, but I think he loves me because I love him.

I am getting married soon.

Healing the wound.

"Fear is like a wound within our emotions. You Heal a fear much like you heal a cut on your hand. If you ignore a cut on your hand, it will get infected. But if will heal itself if you pay attention to it and give it time. Same with fear. First, recognize its existence-what kind of fear is it? Is it fear of poverty, of loneliness, of rejection? Then use common sense. Don't let the fear get infected. Often we burn 70 percent of our emotional energy on what we fear might happen. By devoting our energy to our other emotions, we will heal naturally." -Destiny vs. Self-Creating Meaning.
