Faith vs Foolishness

So as you all know, Tyrell and I will be getting married pretty soon. The Lord has definitely made His will clear through our daily convictions and we are preparing to obey the Lord.

Our circumstance is pretty bad because we're both in College and we will have debts to deal with. Many look at us and say that it is foolish for us to get married so young because we don't have everything in order but we know that the Lord is calling us to marry.

It's really sad how as a child we are taught to trust in Jesus to have faith but when we need to exercise our faith most we are told to use wisdom and not trust God. We are encouraged to lean upon our own understanding and not obey the Lord until we feel confident enough to move forward. Churches are teaching believers to be self-sufficient and prepared. This is sooo sad we are raising an "organized" self-sufficient generation with no faith in God! Many are believing they can have control of their lives when they really don't.

It's a really hard step to take and although we will look like fools we are more than confident that the Lord will continue to be faithful and guide us in how we should go about serving Him as a couple. Our greatest joy comes from the fact that we complement each other and can better work together to serve the Lord, share the Good News of Jesus Christ and disciple others for the glory of God. If you are marrying to find fulfillment beware! Marry because this is what glorifies the Lord most. It is about God's Glory.
