3 days till I"m married

Well, I'm sitting in Charlotte, NC airport after a lightning storm and a 90 minute delay. I've officially finished off my stint in Chicago. 4 years of school @ Moody Bible Institute and 2 1/2 years of school @ Wheaton Graduate School. And 7 months of job searching to follow that. I called myself a Chicagoan for 7 years, but the most important thing that God showed me through those years in Chicago was that He has a plan for my life and He has trained me well to serve Him. But the most important aspect of that prep for a life of service came in the blessing of a woman. Kristine is the single greatest blessing of my life. She is someone that compliments me so well, and I cannot wait to start life together with her in Iowa. I truly believe that God has put us together to bless others and Lord-willing to show what He can do through two simple people that love Him so much. Kristine is the most lovely person I have ever met, and she displays the hope, the joy, and the rich blessing of a life close to our Savior. I have no doubt that we will be used in a powerful way to further Christ's kingdom. Our marriage will be a time to celebrate what God has done in us, what He is doing right now, and all that we will participate in with His Spirit in His grand mission to make all things new.
