Well, here we are again. Another day with another post. First I want to thank God for all the wonderful blessings he has given us lately. Secondly I want to thank Kelley for loving me so much and desiring to grow together everyday. Today we took Magdalena and Johannes(John) to the Dulles Airport. It was a great trip up and back. It seems that the more time I spend with Kelley, the more things about her I discover. It seems that I will never know Kelley fully but I will try all I can to understand, know and honor her.  

1 Peter 3:7 says "You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.".

    We are now trying to find a place to live. We think we found one. Please pray that God will give everything we need to stay at this new place. Please keep us in your prayers day by day. Pray that God will always help enjoy the news we find out about each other. To God of perfect mercy and grace be the glory forever and ever.

We are coming down to the wire now. Actually, I just wanted to say that. We are getting closer to the date. Kelley and I will be married very soon and I pray that I can let God prepare me for what is ahead. God always desires to prepare us for what is next but we don't always want to listen.

    I had a very nice talk with a friend yesterday. We talked much about his relationship he has with his wife and how it became what it is today. The stories about his relationship with his wife encouraged me to want to love Kelley even more. I am finding out more everyday that there are so many more ways to love Kelley than I know. A while back I was thinking about the love that Kelley and I have. I came to the conclusion that I only knew how to love Kelley a little bit. The more time we have in our relationship, the more I will learn to love Kelley. 

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.⁸Love never fails." 

This is what I want my love for Kelley to be

    The wedding is coming along nicely. The only things that we seem to have left are picking the music, buying gifts for groomsmen, and marriage counseling. I am getting more and more anxious everyday. Please pray that God will strength the love we have for eachother everyday. That God will love through us.

One day closer and one day more ready then the last. Closer we get the more exciting it is. Kelley and I didn't get to spend much time together until 11:00 at night. Kelley is a great comforter. I had a bad band tryout but Kelley was there to comfort. Always allow your spouse comfort you in anyway they can. Never push them away, you can do more damage than you think. The thing I love about this blog is that I can write about how much I love Kelley! Please pray that God will help Kelley and I to love each other more and more. Also, that we would glorify Christ together. We want to be champions for Jesus Christ!

I am starting to realize why people don't update their blog everyday. It gets really hard to do so when you have tons of things happen during the day. Anyways, here we go.

Yesterday was a great day. It didn't start out that great but after the morning, it was perfect. I am learning more and more that Guys and Girls are very different from each other when it comes to understanding what the other said. Yesterday we got in the middle of assuming the other person understood what was going on for that day. I think somewhere in our conversation we had our wires mixed up. You see, Kelley had asked me to do some tasks for the wedding. I, in doing them, thought I had come to a point where I couldn't do any more. When we sat down to discuss them it became obvious that I only halfway understood what I was supposed to do. It is going to take time for us to be able to fully understand what needs to happen or what the other person wants; while doing things with the other persons best interests in mind. I am so glad that I am marrying someone who desires to learn from these things. Kelley Langdon is amazing and I am blessed to be able to marry such a wise and loving person. Please pray that God will keep teaching us how to understand what the other person is saying so we may work better in glorifying Him.

P.S.
What did the person say to the captain? Caps

Well, it happened, I wasn't able to update everyday. I tried but something made it hard to do so. Anyways yesterday was amazing. At the of the day Kelley and were able to just hang out at Liberty. We ended up spending some time Liberty just walking around the campus; talk about fun. We had never done it before. As we walked, we talked about an opportunity that Kelley might have in the future. It was so much fun just listening to her beautiful voice. We ended up going to Doc's diner and I had a nice meal. Kelley had already eaten a little while before. After that we headed back to the house and tried to have a marathon with Lord of the Rings. Let's put it this way, I lasted about and hour and a half. Kelley finished the first one and I left afterwards. I am never doing another movie marathon unless I have had a full nights rest.

As for the wedding plan, we are going to the court house to get our marriage licenses today.
Kelley is also getting fitted for her dress. She said I couldn't come, I have no clue why. Anyways besides that, nothing much else. I can not wait until we are fully one. God has definitely had his hand in our relationship from the very beginning. Please pray that God will make the days leading up to the wedding fun and exciting.

    I know this is sort of different but go with me. I didn't have time to update for yesterday so I am posting and pretending it was yesterday. Brad and I finished up our 30 hour famine weekend. After playing for the adult service and having dinner with Brad's brother's family, we said our goodbyes and were off. On the way home, I caught up on some more homework. BTW, all men need to read, If Only He Knew by Gary Smalley. The information in this book has challenged me in many times while reading it. I am learning more and more that the way I see Kelley act is a direct result of how I am responding to her. I knew this as head knowledge but it is know becoming heart knowledge. So on the way home, Brad listened while I read chapters 5 and 6 of the book. Reading this book gives me such a desire to learn how to love and honor Kelley more and more each and every day!

    After Brad and I got back, Kelley and I started to head home. We needed to pick up a few things so we went to my parents house, stayed for a while and then left. On the way home, I was trying to figure out why I was not wanting to talk or do anything. Then God showed me what was happening. Kelley and I had run ourselves to the bone with things to do seperately instead of together. This was mainly in the ministering part of our relationship. Also, we hadn't been taking a day out of the week to completely rest. So I decided after talking with Kelley to make it a point to start doing ministry that we can do completely together. We also decided to make one of our days off (Tuesday) a complete day of rest. Please pray that God will give us a ministry that we can do together in everyway. Know for today...it has only just begun.

I know it's almost 41 days until the wedding but I wanted to make sure this thing is updated. I hate it when people start blogs and never update them. It's 11:08 PM and I am sitting in the hotel room with my friend Brad Lang sleeping in the other bed. I bet he is wishing I would turn off the computer and go to bed. I just got done with great phone call from Kelley. Everyday we get closer and closer to the wedding, God teaches me more about loving and honoring her.

I started reading our wedding counseling book on the way to Maryland. I would have to say it was one of the most encouraging and discouraging books I have ever read. What I read made feel like I hadn't been doing enough for Kelley at the same time it encouraged me to do more. The author shared many stories about times when he put people he wanted to minister too or hangout with over his wife. After reading that, I was convicted at how much I have done that to Kelley. I was very encouraged to let her know that I love her and I honor her as a person. She is the person I want to be with. There are things that get in the way from time to time but laying all feelings and circumstances aside, I want to be with her the most. Please pray that I will always desire to know how to let Kelley feel that she is loved and honored is all fullness. 42 more days!!!!! almost 41...More tomorrow
