It's finally here, Mel and Bryce's wedding. (its wedding eve). I have so many mixed emotions, anxious, joyous, proud, privileged, blessed, concerned, nervous, excited, content and yet unsettled.

Be who they expect you to be, and when you start living your life that way, you become false and fake... not measuring up to anyones expectations, and worse still, falling short of who you were created to be. And the greatest danger of all, missing the mark on who God asks us to be. Missing the mark, is sin. It's the best defintion of sin I know. .........................................
