Finding rest in the midst of adventures

So much has been happening in my life lately that I feel like my mind is always trying to catch up. The biggest surprise came 2 1/2 weeks ago when my dear asked me for forever. Yes, I'm getting married! :)
It was no ordinary game of Boggle. He had it all planned out.
I was so shocked I almost began writing down the words. No joke!
It eventually hit me. About a week later! Haha.
 
We are so excited to begin this new adventure together. God has been incredibly faithful in the past and we anticipate how He will continue to draw us to Himself in the future. I'll be sure to share our wild ride along the way!
 
In the midst of wedding planning, we keep reminding each other of the need to be still. To seek Him. (Easier said than done, I'm afraid.) He alone is the one who will keep us calm and focused when things don't go our way or when situations arise. Each one of us can claim the peace that only He can give. When life is far crazier than you'd like, rest in who He is and what He promises. His Word never changes and neither does He.
 
"...Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders." Deuteronomy 33:12
