But I would do the same in her shoes--I'm sure I'll at least take a sabbatical after my wedding. But God will provide and keep this ministry going...he has already blessed us so much and I know that it is not because of Gretchen or any other single person--it's because God is good. Girls,

I was thinking not too long ago how much I will miss you when you're married! But! What a glorious calling lies before you!

To be able to love someone so unconditionally and sacrifically is the closest that we will ever get (here on Earth) to knowing of Christ's love for His bride (as Merritt was saying to you). Not everyone is called to be married, but those who are should embrace it for all it is and pour their heart and soul into it.<br/><br/>Your regular posts will be sorely missed, but God is writing the next chapter in your life and so you must embrace it just as you have embraced the previous years. Thank you so very much for all your nuggets of wisdom.
