Isn’t it funny how brightly the sun seems to shine even on days you feel close to death? Make no mistake, I am remarkably overjoyed to have spent this weekend celebrating a momentous occasion—and perhaps even more time preparing for a bride and bridegroom through the throes of early-morning flower market runs, the monotony of folding ceremony handouts, and the stress of solving last-minute problems. I have been flown to the moon, and I have no idea how to get down. Yet, riding these highs has been an incredible journey.
I am incredibly exhausted. As my body remembers how to rest, and my mind comes down from overdrive, I am reminded of how good it feels to work hard for the people you love. May the incredible weather persist, and may God continue to bless us with those lasting moments of joy and celebration. From the bottom of my heart, I confidently declare that there is still so much to look forward to, and even more to be grateful for. Even the fatigue that doesn’t seem to cease.
Let me rest for now, and I will return to write about the amazing joys that are, that have been, and that will come. I am looking forward to more sunshine and summer days. In March of next year, I will do it all again—and I anticipate that I will be even busier, but I know it will all be worth it to prepare the way for the beautiful bride and her bridegroom. It will be a blessing to witness it all unfold in front of my eyes, and up so close. What else can I do other than proclaim my eagerness? Joy has finally returned.
