Just think: "Our gentle king chose the lowly path, that Jesus came not riding dignified on a mighty horse but on a silly little donkey, came not to be served but to serve, not to overpower but to be overpowered, not to judge but to be judged, not to be lifted up in praise but lifted up on a cross, in humiliation and rejection and failure."

I am AlisaMarie.
Life is crazy right now. I just graduated high school and now I'm planning a wedding. Usually, for normal people, graduating high school, getting married and moving out of state are 3 different seasons in life. For me, these 3 big seasons have been rolled into 1 huge season. And right now, I am in the middle of that season. As hectic as it is, I wouldn't want it any other way.
A couple years ago, I never thought I'd be here. I never thought I'd be happy. But God changed my life, and when he changed my life... He blessed me with a someone who is better then I could have dreamed of, someone who makes me a better person, someone who loved me for who I am and always makes me smile. God blessed me with Steve and I couldnt ask for more.
Although theres been those who have attempted to pull us apart, it's only made us stronger and happier. Our relationship, it can withstand anything. Our love, it doesn't fade. Our friendship, it grows stronger. And our marriage, will be amazing.
Finally, after 3 years of dating, we are engaged to be married July 18, 2008.
Yes, it's soon. Yes, we're young. And no, nothing can change our mind.
We know what God has called us to do and what God has called us to be. As crazy as it sounds to the world, this is our purpose in life and we are being obedient to God.
So, to everyone who has been there for us and supported us, thank you!
To those who havent supported us, who think we're wrong and who don't want us together, thank you. You have done the thing you were trying not to do, push us closer together. You have made us stronger and better people, individually and as a couple. And we cannot wait till the day, 30 years from now when we have tons of kids and have been missionaries, to simply say, "we told you so."
If you want to know more then ask.
