Yesterday, I went to David's Bridal to pick up two bridesmaids dresses, one for a wedding in two weeks and one for a wedding in September. In a matter of 1 year I will have been in 3 weddings 😩The sales lady said, " I hope you're already married because if not, it has to suck to ALWAYS be the bridesmaid." I just smiled. When I got to the car, my eyes began to swell with tears. I said, "Lord, that was so embarrassing. This was not the plan. I'm supposed to be married by now. What are you doing? I'm tried of just being a bridesmaid." I stopped the tears. After all, it was no time for me to be broken. I had a Rescued Hearts meeting that night where I had to go and encourage young girls to trust in Jesus, even though I was struggling with trusting Him in that moment myself. Fast forward to tonight's quiet time that I really didn't want to have. Yes, even I get weary sometimes and want to avoid spending time with the Lord. But, I'm so glad I showed up. Even in the midst of my tears, frustration, and not understanding, God met me and gave me an unspeakable joy as I sat and cried in his presence. The point of this post is to remind me you that God absolutely cares. He sees every tear. Every frustration. Every hurt. It may seem like He's no where to be found, but He's right by your side, and eventually every burden will be lifted. Every question and worry will be answered. This too shall pass. And if your struggling with wedding season, I'm praying for you tonight. Let's trust God together! ❤️
