For Such A Time As This...

I love how Esther 4:14 ends... "For Such A Time As This."

In fact, it may be my favorite verse in the whole Bible because no matter what I am going through, be it rejoicing or affliction, peace or despair, I know that such a time as this.

As I was driving to Stillwater on Saturday to help Beth with some wedding planning (and to finally see her GORGEOUS ring!), this verse crossed my mind.  

For Such A Time As This...  

Time to finally plan Beth and Kenny's wedding.

Time to look for the perfect day, perfect reception site, perfect photographer, and perfect dress.

Time to create memories and start new traditions.

Time to love and be loved.

Time to remember what is important and what isn't.

Time to focus on God's purpose and direction and enjoy this time...

For such a time as this...  

And it will never come again.

To be honest, this is a GREAT time for me... I think helping plan Beth's wedding might be more enjoyable than planning my own.  All the fun without the stress of budgets, final decisions, unreturned phone calls, and trying to please everyone else.  I am literally giddy as I look forward to the next few months of planning.  Did I mention we are going dress shopping tomorrow!?!  It is going to be an absolutely beautiful wedding and I can't wait to see how it all comes together.

On a side note, while in Stillwater, we stopped at my FAVORITE children's store, Wiggles and Giggles, where I bought Finley another pair of my latest obession... Baby Legs!  Like hair accessories, these baby leg AND arm warmers are so super practical (their one size fits all can be worn by ALL ages!) while also being incredibly adorable!  I had no idea that they could be used as arm warmers and am a bit aggravated as I think how many times I tried changing Finley's diapers through her layered onesies.  So frustrating!  But don't worry... this winter, I'll just slide some baby "legs" on her arms to keep her warm underneath short sleeved onesies and shirts.

By the way, I meant it when I said I am obsessed with them.  I bought her 3 more pairs today! 

Here is Finley modeling a few of her current Baby Legs:
