23 days
23 days..or something like that until I am married! That is unreal for me to type. These past two months in Chicago have been extremely hard. I'm not sure what combination of events led to my untimely breakdown, but I am very glad that Rocky stuck around and that he still wants to marry me after all! I think that all the details are ironed out as best as they can be. We have been running around like mad and I have come to the conclusion that I really just want to stay close to home as much as possible...so we are going to take it easy for the next couple of weeks so that I actually don't pass out after walking down the aisle from pre-wedding exhaustion.
Long story short....we are moving back to Miami. After much deliberation and a few long-winded discussions Rocky and I decided that it would be best to start our life in a not so difficult place. New York was too much to handle all at once and I think that he would have ended up a happy musician, but a miserable husband...so we comprimised. But now Miami opportunities are opening up left and right and I am beyond thrilled at all the opportunities for ministry there that I haven't been able to do since moving away. I can't wait to preach again and I have a peace that God will provice for us. Thanks for all of you that prayed for us over the past couple of months...it's been hard, but whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Right coach?

Sounds like you guys are being very smart. I bet you never imagined as a little girl that your husband's name would be Rocky. How cool is that. Seriously though, congratulations. I'll be praying for you guys.

juliet,
hello and long time no talk. i check your blog occassionally, mostly to live vicariously (sp) through you, but also to put a smile one my face. iowa is nice, but i long for the city again - it's fun to hear about fun happenings. congratulations on your engagement, i knew you wouldn't stay single long. you have such a beautiful heart and joyful spirit. sounds like right now is stressful. try to recenter yourself and prioritize. you can't do everything - even though like me you'ld like to try!?! know that there's a coffee-drinkin momma in iowa praying for you.
blessings,
courtney

Juliet...I'm so sorry things have been rough for you and sounds kind of chaotic. Thanks for writing about it so I know how to pray for you and Rocky. I'm thankful that you will go back to Miami where you have sort of a community and knowledge already about ministry/life/work, etc there. I will continue to pray for you both before the wedding and wish I could be there. I have done a terrible job emailing lately. :-( Please know that you are in my prayers!!!!! Ok?!
Love misty
PS: Rocky is around for the good and bad. I know that sounds cheesy, but that's what marriage is all about (i'm told). It's good for him to see that side of you. And the whole thing about when we are weak it truly shows God's strength to its fullest. Weakness includes in my life all of my breakdowns and insanities and moments of doubt and homesickness. Just keep letting your weaknesses reflect the strength in God's character that can glorify Himself in the world especially/even in our weakest and most humbling times of life.
PPS: You will be such a beautiful bride. Sorry about the sermonette.
PPPS: I wish I could come to the wedding. If you could move it to December I will be home for a few months.

thanks for your encouragement Misty. it's a bummer that you can't make it because it would have been great to see you. but we both understand that not everyone is going to be able to be there. thanks so much for your prayers and support and don't worry about the e-mailing (or lack of) becuase I'm not keeping up with people that well either. hope you are well.
