Life is crazy busy, I get married in 4 days...and it just seems so bizarre.
I knew I'd hate it if I didn't do a little interior reflection before I set off into a sacrament, a sacrament so beautiful and so wonderful I don't really know what I'm getting myself into. I guess that's why it's a sacrament though, the grace is always there to make manifest the glory of God, we just have to be open to receiving it.
The thing I want most is to become a saint. I want to live in the glory of God...FOREVER! There's a hole, so big inside me, only heaven can fill it.
And sure I get distracted in sin: music, TV, sleep (or lack thereof), shiny objects...etc etc But all those things are only because I'm looking for the forever of heaven.
And this sacrament I am about to enter into with another human being (just as weak, just as distracted as I am) is so scary. Scary because it's a whole other soul we're being held accountable for with the possibility of more souls being added (through the grace of the sacrament of course), which is so much bigger than ourselves. Luckily though, we're partners in the fight against the culture and sin, and these souls we raise together while keeping each other accountable.
And it's funny, I always thought of God as my partner, but when one got added it made it more Trinitarian....and I like that, it fits.
