Devil's.in.the.Details.

Less than 1 week.

I am feeling excited & anxious & stressed & relaxed & happy & nervous all at the same time.

What is wrong with me?

I would try to figure that out, but I don't have time. Too busy with all these last minute details! Thats my big issue as I head into my final week as Allison Duke. The details. All those [little things] that I once vowed to fall head-over-heels in love with, all those [personal touches] that I just had to include....are now the things taking up most all my time & energy.

As my Grandma says, "the Devil's in the details!" And she is right! I can feel my heart growing stressed and sometimes discouraged with all these little things I must finish, even in the midst of such an exciting and eventful time! So my prayer as this week begins is that I would be granted a peace of mind that only Christ can give. Not only that, but an attitude of humility & grace as I work closely with so many wonderful people to make my big day go as planned.

I pray for patience, and strength, and energy. But perhaps above all these things, I pray that I may see only Christ through all of this. I pray that the Devil who has been hanging out in all my details, would vanish. And in his place, may I see the provision and the great love of Christ.

Thank you to all who are praying/have been praying along with me. I feel encouraged, and energized to take on the week! Most of Walker's family has already come into town from Missouri! And my family should start arriving around Tuesday. I am looking forward to all the last minute excitement, and I can't wait to see my friends & family who have come from near & far. Bring on the next 6 days! Even the details! I can't wait!
