OH MY GOSH!!!!!! I'm getting married in 116 days!!!!! I can't believe it. In 116 days I will marry my best friend:)
For those of you that don't want to count it up but are still curious that is 3 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, and 19 hours until Charles and I say I do! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Believe it or not, it actually just sink in the other day that I'm ACTUALLY getting married:) Then reality hit of how close the wedding is and I am now even more excited than ever before. We of course still have many things to do before the wedding gets here but I am so super excited!!!
Wedding dressed was purchased not long after the proposal, wedding bands have been picked out and purchased, honeymoon booked, and now we are just taking care of some final planning things. I know I have already said this a lot but I will probably say it a lot more in this post and many others, I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
116 DAYS UNTIL #TOBEJAEGERED!!!!
Get ready. I am about to become the most annoying person for the next few months:)

God Is Good
GOD IS GOOD.
A simple yet profound fact that can never be properly stated in mere human words. God is so very good. I have been seeing His goodness more and in the in's and out's of my days recently. My mentor told me one time a few months ago at the beginning of a meeting about how she was in the habit of telling people that she is good when asked how she is doing. She said that there is nothing good about her (and this is coming from a woman who radiates the glory of God's Spirit in her), but she is right. Only God is good. This truth that she spoke didn't really convict me until about a month later when someone asked me how I was and I responded with "I'm good." Two simple words but oh how convicted I became in that one moment. From that moment on a friend has been trying to help me and has even started trying to catch herself when asked how we are, we try to respond with we are "well" rather than "good" because as previously stated, there is nothing good about us.
It's a bit amusing, I will admit, when we are walking around and we slip up and say we are good because we immediately realize it and try to remember it, and then five seconds later...
Thoughts: You're not good, you're well, well, well, you're well...
Random Person: Hey! How are you?
Me: I'm good! (face-palm)
Thoughts: WELL!!! I'M WELL!
[walks away shaking head]
I'm not saying everyone has to do this, that is simply a conviction I felt on my heart that day and I have been trying to make that change every since. So with that being said, if you ever ask me how I am doing and I respond with "good" then say I'm "well", just know that I am still trying and God is still working on me:)
Anyway, as I said, GOD IS GOOD. It doesn't matter what circumstances you are in, it doesn't matter if you're in the valley or on the mountain top, He is still good. He is good in the good times and the bad. He is good in tragedy, uncertainty, and the unknown. He is good in sickness and health. He is good in life and death. He is good in joy and in sorrow. He is good during your healing. He is good during your stress. He is good when your finances are not. He is good when you are living pay check to pay check. He is good when you don't know what to do. He is good even when you are deep in the depths of sin... God's goodness isn't dependent on you... He is good because that is who God is. He is the Good Shepherd and the Good Father. He is good in everything He does. You're sick? He is still good. You're hurting? He's still good. You don't know where your next meal is coming from? He's still good. The doctor just told you it's cancer... HE'S STILL GOOD... No matter what, He will always be good.
You see there is nothing, absolutely nothing good about you (or me) at all. Even the things you or others would consider to be "good" about you, they are still not truly good. But God, IS goodness. Everything about Him is good. Everything about Him oozes goodness. Even in your storm...
So just remember as you go through out every day... as you wake up no knowing what the day holds for you, God has got you, God knows what your day is going to bring and He is GOOD, in ALL circumstances. Love you friend!
In Christ,
Kelcy
