Taking His LAST NAME (Matthew 19:5-6)
from She Wrestles with God | Daily Devotional for Women · host Giselle Ugarte
Today, we're talking about the WEDDING GRIEF no one warned me about. We're five months away from the biggest day, and I was not expecting to cry as hard as I did during what was supposed to be a beautiful conversation about taking Honey's last name. I could not be more excited, and also (as you'll hear in this episode) I'm still working through it, so pretty please pray for me and all the brides-to-be.
