Laura Ingalls.....Wilder?
So - I have been looking forward to posting a thread like this FOREVER.
What could it be??!?!?!?!
Almanzo has come, that's what.
This past Monday, I was engaged to marry a wonderful, godly, young man. God has blessed me far above what I deserve!
I just wanted to pop on and let all those of you here that remember me know about the good news. This means I'll be even more busy than I have been as I prepare for a wedding later in the year. Aaaaahhh! But I'm looking forward to being a wife and making my new home a delightful place.
And for all the girls who may be interested in my ring:

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. ♡

I find myself disagreeing strongly with part of this. I'm sure he's wonderful (though I have a friend who already claimed to marry the most handsome man in the world a few years ago) but no human being could be so great as to being far more than what you deserve! I can't disagree that God has blessed you, though!Laura Ingalls wrote:God has blessed me far above what I deserve!

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's soooooo great, I'm not putting him on a pedestal. I was more referring to God's provision of a husband in general - Proverbs 18:22 (but switched to husband instead of wife). God gives good gifts to His children out of His great love for us, and I'm grateful that He does so, even if we are sinful creatures.Catspaw wrote:I find myself disagreeing strongly with part of this.

Congrats Laura!
We miss you around here. Tell the lucky guy 'hi' from a random internet stranger he doesn't know. (I love pulling this one on people)

Congratulations Laura! That was a perfect way to announce your engagement
Oh my gosh! Congratulations, Laura! I am so happy for you! (Something told me to revisit this place today, and I think this is the reason why.)

I shouldn't have tried so hard to be contrary in the process of complimenting you. That definitely makes sense, and God's love and grace are well worth celebrating!Laura Ingalls wrote:Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's soooooo great, I'm not putting him on a pedestal.

Thanks everybody! I appreciate everyone's well wishes.
Things are moving along with wedding prep, and we have a house (at least under contract, not closed yet) as of Saturday. Yay!
