the Lord is faithful to the end.

i really love that the Lord cares about everything that matters to us... even the smallest things.

a little over two weeks ago, i went with Mom to birmingham to shop for my wedding dress. if you know me at all, you know i'm not a dress shopper. i think most dresses are adorable, i just don't wear them too often. and i definitely don't like trying them on. shopping for my prom dresses in high school was pretty much as close to a nightmare as it gets.

my attitude was slightly predominantly negative preceding the trying on of dresses, but the whole day turned out to be a huge success and such a blessing. Mom and I had a long overdue fun day (including lunch at The Cheesecake Factory!), and my wedding dress was the 4th one i tried on!

for everyone who may read this and is looking for a wedding dress, i highly recommend The White Room. Carolyn and her daughter Cathy are absolutely amazing! they were precious and so very accommodating. when Carolyn told me Cathy would find me a dress that day, i have to admit, i was doubtful. 'the dress' she ended up bringing me was nothing like the one i had pictured, but she knew exactly what would look best on me. when i got it on and all pinned up, i knew it was the one. after we bought it, Cathy came back in the dressing room and her eyes were as big as saucers. she brought the tag to me and told me to read the name of the dress... and it was named 'Emily.' [oh, and my dress had been marked half off right before i got there.]

God took a day that i was dreading and turned it into a story i can tell.

He really does care about all the details.
