First of all, I want to thank ALL of you for your comments!! Totally helped. :)
Last night me and Rob had a little talk...and he said, "Shayna, what if I snapped my fingers right now and we were married? How would that change things?"
What a brilliant man. This question may not have worked in any other relationship I have had....or perhaps it would not have gotten the same results...but when I thought about it, I realized that if we were married (not that I've been married before)...but we would already BE MARRIED....so that means whatever freak outs I'd be having about marriage BEFORE marriage wouldn't really be feasable because they wouldn't STOP anything. I'd already be IN a marriage with him. The worries I have now are not really things that are definitely going to happen, nor have they really been big issues NOW! When I am with him, I feel great. And it was honestly a miracle the way we got together! Ask my Utah friends..I did NOT want to go. I was so sad!! I loved Utah so much!!! Now, talking to my family, talking to those who know us, and also searching the feelings in MY heart, it just makes sense. :) He is such an amazing guy and I appreciate him so much more as time goes by. Of course there are things that I struggle with....I mean, no one is gonna be perfect. But maybe it is those so-called "imperfections" that compliment My imperfections so very well.
It's not like this huge beam of light has hit me, its not like an overwhelming experience, in fact it is prettymuch like a little seed. What do they say about little seeds? Oh yes, if planted, it will grow. And if I am rejecting the little seed, it isn't the seed's fault that it isn't growing. It is my fault for not having good ground and letting it in. And when seeds grow, there are oftentimes little weeds that get in the way, too. I mean, unless its in a Martha Stewart catalog....which, lets face it, NOTHING I have ever done or created looks quite like Martha can do it. But its fun to try.
So....which one do you like better? (PS....there isn't actually a wedding on at this moment...but a girl likes to start thinking, right???)

okay, I can see now why you would need help choosing--they're all fun color schemes!! I think my favorite for you would be lime/navy or Teals, with Fall Colors coming in as a close second!!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you and hope all continues to go well--you two make a cute couple:)
And I was going to say this on the last post but never got around to it, so i'll say it now. ha. Just as your friends were saying that fear and doubt come from Satan (which i agree with), I think he will do everything in his power to confuse you. Just like when a missionary has been called to serve, the few months/days before they leave....Satan tries so hard to stop them from going--whether it be health wise or worthiness problems. Why? because he knows that missionary is going to do the Lords work and will bring others into this great gospel and truth. Same goes for marriage. He doesn't want another Eternal Family created, so he will try everything he can to prevent it. He'll try now (before you're engaged and wondering if you should), he'll try after your engaged, he may even try on the week of the wedding or even the day of. He's a tricky little Devil--don't let him get to you!! (easier said than done, I know.) Good Luck Shayna!!!!!!!!! I think you're awesome!
