In ten days everything changes

The final countdown has begun. T minus 10 days. There is no bigger thing happening in my life than what will happen in 10 days. Darren Colwell will no longer be Darren Colwell. Darren Colwell will be Mr. and Mrs. Darren Colwell. I can hardly believe it. We got engaged almost six months ago. (Which, by the way, was on a beach in Mexico on a mission trip. God rocks.) The time has seemed to fly and be unbearably slow at the same time. God has brought us so far. I never knew the extent of my selfishness and pride until I had to grapple with the thought that I would be spending the rest of my life with the woman I love. Marriage (even the preparation for marriage) is an incredibly sanctifying agent. I can't wait to see what the next fifty years brings in my life. Praise the name of Jesus. I have waited 26 years to be married (well, maybe not 26 years, but at least 13) and in just ten days that desire becomes a reality. It's absolutely insane. God is crazy. Putting me with a girl like Kayla. The grace of God knows know measure. And if Kayla is this good, imagine how amazing God is. Oh God, come quickly and bring us to Christ. More to post later...
