The Spot

We've been engaged for only a week, and the pressures of planning a wedding are already upon us. All the things that need to get done, getting those things done at the proper time, there isn't a lot of time... the pressure is mounting. We really need to pace ourselves. We need to take care of the things that are right in front of us and not be concerned with the things that are too far ahead of us. This not only is in regards to wedding planning but also in all of life. Whether we're concerned about planning, school, work, ministry, family, etc., God has it all worked out. We can't worry about what's going to happen tomorrow; we need to focus on where God has us today. "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."(Matthew 6:34)

So where are we today? It looks like we have a reception spot picked out. The first spot we picked out (the Benicia Clocktower) was surprisingly already reserved. I say "surprisingly" because I would think that it wouldn't be busy on a Friday and also on a day after a holiday. This, however, was the case for this option. So we checked some other options. We looked at Gaia in American Canyon, the community center in Fairfield, and even the Jelly Belly in Fairfield (which was a very realistic option). In the end, however, we decided that the community center in Suisun would best fit our needs. (FYI, the pic above is not at the community center, but it is a few miles away, still in Suisun.)

In my mind, this was probably the biggest thing that I wanted to get taken care of. Knowing that we have the spot set and reserved, we can move on to other things... all at the proper time.
