Meet Virginia.. Now Mrs. Misner

Wow it has been a while since I have had time to sit, reflect, and write! Oh how I have missed it... I am not the best writer.. most of my stuff is random thoughts.. But hey.. thats me :)

As of March 12, 2011 I am now a wife! I am Mrs. Ginny Misner.. I love being married. I love everything about it. I have the most wonderful husband who treats me with the upmost love and respect a woman can ask for! We love spending every second together that we can and I am so thankful for every second we do have together. He is my best friend and soulmate. (Yes, I believe in Soulmates). Our wedding was the most perfect day any bride can ask for.

I kid you not...it was surreal. It was the perfect weather, perfect photographer, had my girls beside me,family,friends I felt like a princess in my flowy dress, the ceremony was filled with God's Grace and Love. The church was candlelit and filled with greenery. There was a vintage mirror when you walked into

the foyer of the church with candles and flowers on a table. To the left was my photo guest book that I made from our engagement pictures. I loved it. My bouquets were wild flowers that we could bring to the reception. The reception was at an antebellum home with a tent full of candles, mason jars, vintage books, and modern lanterns. I went for a soft, romantic vintage feel. We had an awesome DJ who made us wear our dancing shoes (mine were my gray converses) ,the best food anyone can ask for, a wonderful videographer who worked so hard. We danced the night away and had a sparkler farewell. Even the limo driver was amazing. I am telling you.. it was perfect. The atmosphere was better than I could have ever expected. The Lord was filling every place we went with His presence. His hand of protection was over the whole weekend. You could just feel Him. It was awesome and truly the best weekend I have ever had. The rehearsal dinner was filled with emotions.. Tears were shed at every table..It was an intimate, sweet time for everyone. It was like one big hug :) My Mother in Law worked so hard on it. It was the most wonderful rehearsal dinner I have ever been to or will ever go to. I am so thankful. I am going to post a few of my favorite pics so you can see the "vibe' of the big day! It was so magical!

I hope everyone is doing great.. I can't wait to update our moments as a couple on here.

The Lord is good.

A moment with my God

Today I had a great "Spiritual" day. I was able to see things in a different way and was able to see God's sovereignty in my life. I had a great walk and prayed the whole time and I am so thankful for that moment in time.

It is like you have this one on one moment with Your GOD and you have so much to talk about and tell but you don't know where to begin to even talk about it.. And then you continue that excitement and feeling to a human being that is the closest to you and you still do not know how to explain it..I love those intimate, gorgeous times!

Well all I know is I am so thankful for today and the peace the Lord has given me and where He is taking me!

UPDATE on David and I:

David and I have our first wedding shower this weekend. We are very excited about it! We just have to make sure we do thank you cards as soon as it is over! ha.

We also signed the lease to our very first apartment together. I will be moving in March but he will be moving in November. So he will get it cozy for me and we can start decorating together! we are excited. God is good.

I have tons of wedding planning to do so let me get back to that I just wanted to give my blog a little note! My online journal :)

God is good.. Here is a quote I read today.. loved it!

‎"If we live without an eternal perspective,earthly trials become larger than life. Without the hope of heaven there is nothing to prepare for, nothing to look forward to."

That is so true.. If we bring that into your marriage I think we will have a ton of happy moments!

Thank you Lord for choosing me.

Worry And Stress-Reek of Arrogance.

Worry-Implies that we don't quite trust God. We Do not trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what is happening in our life.

Stress- Says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control.

Both of these behaviors reek of arrogance. We tend to forget we have been forgiven, that our lives here are brief, and in God's hands. In God's Strength, our problems are small, indeed! Life is about God, not me at all.

Keep helping me remember this Lord.

Godly Marriage..Worldly Marriage. Totally Different

While planning a wedding I realize something.... What am I doing to plan for my marriage? Yes I am praying. Yes I am reading God's Word. But am I really planning for it? I was convicted all day with that... How do I view Marriage? How does God view marriage? I want to see how the world views marriage and then do the total OPPOSITE of that. The world views marriage as such a trial basis.. "IF it does not work, that is ok.." The world has such a superficial idea of love and romance. Well today I questioned myself.. What is marriage to you Ginny... I do not know all the answers but I do know this.. I have many character flaws I have to work on. Relationships bring out your character flaws. How do you respond to it when it comes out..? Do you run? Do you follow your emotion instead of your mind? Relationships... What does God intend for them?

Once again I do not have all the answers. I do know that the Lord takes marriage VERY seriously. I do know that your ultimate relationship is with the Lord. I do know that the person you choose to marry is not always going to make you "happy", but it is not about happiness it is finding the mature love, the mature peace that only the LORD can fulfill. It is about helping each other to the Throne of Grace. It is about taking a daily walk, a daily renewal of your mind. The person you marry walks with you. Prays with you. Helps meet your needs but never becomes your God. There is only one God.

I love a man of God. But he is not my God. I love David Misner and I can not wait to marry him. I do not expect it to be perfect but I know that the Lord will be the Lord of our life. I know that one of us will out live the other and one of us will see Christ face to face sooner. So what does that mean? That means that no matter what human relationship you might have.. the one you need to be focused on first is your relationship with is CHRIST JESUS. He will ultimately fill you with love, joy, peace, all the character attributes that will bless a marriage.. not hinder one. So if you feel down or if you see your character flaws, use that as God working on molding you to be more Christ like. Always pray for Christian marriages.

I pray for all the Christian marriages around the world. I pray that you will keep them molded together and pray that YOUR Word will be the blueprint of their marriage.-IN Christ name.AMEN :) :)

I AM GETTING MARRIED!

Ok so its been almost 100 years since I have been on here. A lot has changed in my life in a few months. I am now ENGAGED to my best friend, to a wonderful man I have known for years. We are getting married very soon and I am praying that I will not let the wordly wedding things get me so wrapped up in it that I forget what it is really about. THE LORD and marrying the best man in the world. I am excited about the planning. David is helping like a champ. He has the best attitude about it and I do not even have to ask him before he is doing stuff or coming up with ideas. He is precious.

He Asked me by the Riverwalk in New Orleans. It was real, sweet, and perfect. The dinner was great, the weather was great, the outfits we had on were great :), the prayer was great, when I turned around and saw him on his knees the world stopped, when he said.."Ginny I love you so much, will you please marry me.." my knees became weak, we were in our own bubble and I knew I was about to say YES to my future hubby. When I said YES he jumped up and held me tight and then started crying. It was the sweetest moment in history! I forgot about the people and world around us. I was like a giddy school girl that just got a valentine card from her crush. Then I looked at my ring and was in complete AWE. That thing is so beautiful. So August 7th is the day David and I started our wedding journey and life together. The courting is over.. (kind of haha).. We are choosing each other and choosing to fight for the Lord daily together. We are better together than apart. It is not about anything but Christ. I am blessed. Thank you Lord.

I am thinking about starting a new blog about our wedding and will send a link on here if I do.

Keep us in your prayers.
