When I first got engaged, one of my colleagues who just got married said that she and her husband were contemplating buying a new place before the wedding. She told him that she didn't want to because she could only handle one major change at a time.
A little while later, my boss told me that the biggest causes of depression are life-changes, like marriage or the birth of a child.
Last night, I met our old landlords to get a piece I had left in the house. They were really excited for us and asking me all about the wedding plans. Then she said, "I can only handle two major changes at one time," referring to her wedding and move.
How will my life change in the next 4 months, let me count the ways:
1. Marriage
2. Move 550 miles
3. New job (please, God!)
4. Possible pregnancy
The funny thing is that I'm not so stressed out about it at the moment. I think the most beneficial thing that will come of this, is that the fiance and I will grow together as a couple. He has a lot of adjustments to make too - and a lot of new pressures. I'm looking forward to working with him through our new challenges and joys. And I still think that I will like marriage 100x more than being single!
Meanwhile, the little chapel near his work may become my favorite place and my Bible bookmark may be found anywhere in the Psalms.
"Be still and know that I am God." -Psalm 46
