When We Get Married
We lived. We loved. We fought. We cried. We gave up. We started over. We grew apart. We grew closer. We failed. We triumphed. We prayed together. This is our life.
Now we move forward. We are becoming one. We are growing. We are living. We are loving. We are asking for His blessings.
On December 4, 2006, Pastor Scott will marry Jaimie and I and we will become one. We will stand before our family, friends and God and declare our intentions to be faithful and true to one another.
It is another step to get closer to our dream.
Our Song: Closer by Goapele
Feel it in my sleepSome times it feels like I’ll never go pass againSome times it feels like I’m stuck forever and everWhen I’m going higher
Closer to my dreamsI’m goin’ higher and higherI ain’t gonna sleepSome times you just have to let it go (Let it go, letit go)Leaving all my fears to burn downPush them away so I can move on
Closer to my dreamsFeel it all over my beingClose your eyes and see what you believeI’m happy as long as we’re apartThen I’m moving on to my dreamsI’ll be moving higher (Moving higher)
Closer to my dreamsAnd higher and higher, higherFeel it in my being (I can feel it flow around me)I know that I could not go alone (No, no)
I’m moving higher (Higher), oh...I’m going higher and higher and higher (Higher andhigher)Closer to my dreams (Higher and higher, oh...oh...)I’m moving upward and onward and beyond all I can see(Stretching out my arms so I can breathe)
Feels so close it’s like strangeI can feel my dreams (Closer to my dreams)I’m moving closer to my dreamsI’m moving (Higher and higher) higher and higher(Higher and higher)Moving higher, ho...Some times it feels like you never gon’ change (Nevergon’ change)But you never choose to walk away
11:21 AM Well congratufreakinlations brother! I wish you and the lady the best from 3,000 miles away.
Has this date been public (blog) knowledge? Maybe I haven't been paying proper attention (wouldn't be the first time) but the news seems so sudden.
11:24 AM Thanks Rahsid,
No, it wasn't public knowledge. Actually, I didn't even put it out there that we were engaged.
So, you weren't sleep. We were just private.
1:53 PM Congrats James. I am not sure you are aware, but Jamie was part of my youth group when I was youth pastor over in Santa Monica. I have also known Scott for many years.
I wish you both many years of happiness, joy and love. Enjoy!

Not that I think it will be a problem, but I still want to share with you my favorite quote on marriage,
"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."
- F. Nietzsche
