Relishing the effects of witnessing the Union of Marriage, I'm Overjoyed & Happy beyond expression. The Ceremony took place in Las Vegas, Nevada coincidentally the same City & State where I was the Bride of a similar Ceremony 12 years ago this year.
Weddings really do alter the perception of relationships.
Perception is a mind ability therefore prone to abuse & oversight. It is the idea or accumulated defining of information's that lead to labeling or identifying. It's not gospel(a story) but collective reactions to situations that tend to lead toward a certain emotion or circumstance.
The fact that our rapidly evolving(nothing is changing except diapers) society diminishes the union of marriage with hypotheses and heresy's desecrating its value made this union special. The constant changing of what is good amongst society and the world is enough to complicate or confuse one's interpretations and imaging. Your garbage can become my fortune and vice verse.
If The Word of GOD SAYS THAT We Are All CREATED EQUAL, then there is no competition except that of the mind to pose a theory as reality appeasing the creator.
I'm a Recovering sinner taking each day one step at a time & totally believing and trusting IN THE WORD OF GOD Which Happens To Be Transforming My Mind into an arena of Happiness & Peace that has never been identified or perceived from any point of my personal views.
I witnessed True Love many years ago through my Uncle & Aunt but from the whispers among the other adults regarding their relationship, I perceived them weak & dumb.
Somehow the violence and incarcerating experiences appealed to my youthful intellect and I pursued that conjured vision in search of love and found more violence and nothing resembling Love. I spent over twenty years back and forth with a man, I felt possessed my future & sustained my world. He committed suicide three years ago this June & I'm surviving by THE GRACE OF GOD because the mentality suffering his loss would destroy me if I let it.
After his death things came out about his persona that are worst than shocking and scarier than roller coasters. It's a good thing the mind can be recomputed and reprogrammed.
Insanity however is null and void because I repeatedly accepted the dramas and breakups expecting a different result each time I found myself in the same situation.
Finally after 21 years of nonsense, I let go & Let GOD and The Rewards have been Worth every tear. I experience Joy unspeakable because it races through my bones & empties into My Spirit so Quick by the time I find words to Express that It has Swooped Me Up and Carried Me into THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD and I'm Really at a Lost for Expressing This Except to say Awesome!!!
I Chase the Joy OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD and utilize criticism and tests of My Character toward Meeting GOD SMILING ON JUDGMENT DAY. It Makes Life Easy. I Constant Remind Myself THAT JESUS WAS TRULY INNOCENT & Did Not Deserve What happened to HIM but Endured insults, temptation and death to Allow Me The Opportunity To recognize my sins & Return TO GOD With An Open Heart & Willing Mind.
My current Marriage has its ups and downs which we weather together by the end of every day As GOD Ordained(Ephesians 04:26).
Today's society with its supposed "equal rights" attitude toward the union of marriage has mocked it's substance and altered its strength.
It was a joy for me to hear of the decision for a youthful couple to join together in "Holy Matrimony" due to the collapse of its initial values.
Having been married but refused to parent would say I've not lived up to the purpose of marriage-procreation but I could argue that my existence in other families assist in that area by support on one level or another. I mean I've experienced every dimension of parenthood except conception & delivery but paid the bills even through college & assisted in character building have 3 god-children and a multitude of cousins supported through the years. It was a pleasure participating in the ceremonies as I've never had that experience assisting a Bride.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article is about the participants in a wedding ceremony. Wedding ceremony participants, also referred to as the wedding party are the people that participate directly in the wedding ceremony itself.
Depending on the location, religion, and style of the wedding, this group may include only the individual people that are marrying, or it may include one or more brides, grooms (or bridegrooms), maids of honor, bridesmaids, best men, groomsmen, flower girls, page boys and ring bearers.
A woman's bridal party consists of only those on her side of the wedding party. Those on a groom's side are called his groom's party.
A bride is a woman about to be married or newly-wed.
The word may come from the Teutonic word for "cooking". In Western culture, a bride may be attended by one or more bridesmaids or maids of honor.
Her partner, who becomes her spouse after the wedding, is referred to as the bridegroom (or groom) if male. For first marriages in Western countries, a white wedding dress is usually worn, a tradition started by Queen Victoria's wedding. Through the earlier parts of the 20th century, Western etiquette prescribed that a white dress should not be worn for subsequent marriages, since the wearing of white was mistakenly regarded by some as an ancient symbol of virginity, despite the fact that wearing white is a fairly recent development in wedding traditions. Today, Western brides frequently wear white, cream, or ivory dresses for any number of marriages; the color of the dress is not a comment on the bride's sexual history. White wedding dresses are uncommon in Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese traditions, because white is the color of mourning and death in those cultures.
In addition to the gown, the bride often wears a veil and carries a bouquet of flowers, a small heirloom such as a lucky coin, a prayer book, or other token. In Western countries, the bride may wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue”; a bridal purse (or money bag) is also common.
My cousin wore a candy apple red gown that looked as though she was about to Accept an Award at the Academy's. She was Adorable with her Vail which was white that trimmed in Satan red and tiara. It was a Wonderful experience and I couldn't help but revisit pasts times and opportunities ignored due to grudges and collected animosities. I've Experienced Forgiveness FROM GOD & am Enjoying The Benefits of Serenity therefore I'm certain it can be obtained in every other relationship If I approach them with humility(denying evil) & Forgiveness(letting go) even if no one has apologized, I take the initiative to Execute Love & Peace its a far greater feeling than the heart racing mind boggling resentments and hurts.
Forgiveness from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forgiveness is typically defined as the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, and/or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution. The Oxford English Dictionary defines forgiveness as 'to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense or debt'. The concept and benefits of forgiveness have been explored in religious thought, the social sciences and medicine. Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives including forgiving themselves, in terms of the person forgiven and/or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven. In some contexts, forgiveness may be granted without any expectation of restorative justice, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is incommunicado or dead). In practical terms, it may be necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgment, apology, and/or restitution, or even just ask for forgiveness, in order for the wronged person to believe himself able to forgive. Dr. Robert Enright from the University of Wisconsin–Madison founded the International Forgiveness Institute and is considered the initiator of forgiveness studies. He developed a 20-Step Process Model of Forgiveness.[3] Recent work has focused on what kind of person is more likely to be forgiving. A longitudinal study showed that people who were generally more neurotic, angry and hostile in life were less likely to forgive another person even after a long time had passed. Specifically, these people were more likely to still avoid their transgressor and want to enact revenge upon them four and a half years after the transgression.
Adjusting to My Renewed Spirit I often revert to my former familiarities & find My Spirit saddened by my refusal To Change & Accept It's Benefits while letting go of bitterness & it's evil components of animosity or hatred.
Simple things can lead to long periods of disdained treatments and repeated apologies when Not Focused ON THE HAND OF GOD GUIDING You towards Deliverance & Healing.I've found that I've often complicated simple matters attempting to get the best reaction or compiled words to caress an ego out of The Will of GOD.
Now That I'm Exercising Waiting On THE LORD & Trusting In HIS PURPOSE'S, Joy and Happiness Highlight every moment I spend in the company of anyone Witnessing My Behavior & possibly Choosing to duplicate the Character I've Projected Hopefully IN THE LIKENESS & FULLNESS OF GOD. Without GOD I Honestly Would be Like a Ship without a Sail, and that's just lost & tossed. I'm Seeking GOD'S APPROVAL & EXPECTING HIS RETURN To RECEIVE My Results. I'm no longer living to get trinkets that fade or words that dissipate to build My Esteem, For I Am that GOD HAS CALLED Me to be and that's enough. I've shed the arrogance(ignorance in disguise of good) and destroyed the lies(self perceived critisms and acknowledgements). Understanding that my own flesh is at constant war against My Spirit FROM GOD. The flesh is the dust of the ground that GOD CHOSE TO FORM Us In HIS LIKENESS TO HOUSE THE SPIRIT HE BREATHED INTO Our Nostrils & Rendering Us Life. I Inventory My behavior and adjust It According to the Spirit of GOD & IT'S ATTRIBUTES: Joy, Peace, Long-suffering, Gentleness, Meekness, Goodness, Temperance & Love. Adorned with The Gifts of THE HOLY SPIRIT; Administration, Diversities of Operations(multi-tasking) Word Of Wisdom(Only Comes From GOD), Healing(Repairing, Restoring), Working of Miracles(Doing The Impossible), Prophecy(Speaking GOD'S PLANS) Discerning of Spirits(Tested) Various kinds of Tongues(Can Communicate With Any1) Interpretations of Tongues(Understanding Any1). With These In Motion though sin is present it's power is Defeated by My relentless Empowering OF THE SPIRIT & WILL OF GOD. An Example of the mind playing tricks on importance is shown in Martha's complaint to JESUS about Mary's Hunger To Be In HIS PRESENCE & Obtaining Wisdom food for the Soul rather than stressing about presentation of food for the flesh. "Lord don't you care that my sister has left me 2 do the work by myself? Tell her 2 help me! Luke 10:40 Martha took her complaint about her sister(Mary) directly 2 Jesus. Is sum1 in ur life causing u trouble a daughter, mother, coworker sister in Faith even a rival(enemy)? Rather than expressing ur grievance 2 Any1 who will listen, Take Your Complaint Directly 2 GOD. Tell HIM EVERYTHING that's bothering You. Ask HIM 2 GIVE You Understanding about how 2 Respond(not react) 2 this Person, even if It Means that You, not them R the 1 Who Needs 2 Change from Women of The Bible by Ann Spangler & Jean E. Syswerda
Prayer:FATHER YOU KNOW how difficult it is 4 Me 2 Relate 2..,Please Help Me 2 Know ? YOU(GOD) THINK of our difficulties. I Ask YOU 4 The GRACE 2 Let Go Of My Own Sense of hurt & grievance. If YOU WANT Me 2 Do Anything at All 2 Try 2 Improve the situation, Make Me Sensitive & Obedient 2 YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS, Amen...then Exhale & Live!
