E Note-Calming Advice for Bride-to-Be
I recently received this note from a bride-to-be:
"I am getting married in 5 weeks, and it's just busy and I have a lot on my "plate"--some stuff I can't control and some I can control. I get stressed easily and uptight. I don't want every change, road block, or honestly my stubbornness to get in the way of the joy and abundant life God has for me and my future husband. I want to break free of this. I am a very organized and sometimes controlling person so when I get impatient or my plans are thrown for a loop I get stressed and in a bad mood sometimes.
I feel like there is no time for everything I want to get done in one day! It's frustrating."
She's not alone! This is a situation that plagues many brides-to-be or any one approaching a major emotionally involved event or project.
Here's my advice:
1. Recognize that this is a stressful time of life. You not only have a ton to do with
preparing for the wedding but also are going through the grieving process of leaving your
your old life of singleness and starting a new season. It's natural to feel sad/be more
sensitive.
2. Realize that you aren't going to be able to do everything you want to do. As you plan the weeks before your wedding, ask yourself two questions:
-Is this an essential or optional wedding activity?
-Is this something that needs to be done before the wedding or can it wait?
Then focus on the essential activities that must be done before the wedding. If you get
any of the optional or "could wait" items done, great but don't put pressure on yourself
to make them happen.
3. I understand the feeling of getting stressed or impatient when things don't go as planned. I wrote a blog post on dealing with this topic: http://tinyurl.com/lhf3n3 Also,
I've found it helps enormously when I start my day asking God what He wants me to
accomplish and praying throughout the day that I will focus on loving God and loving
people instead of just "getting things done."
Hope this helps all brides-to-be to take a deep breath and enjoy this beautiful season!
Take care,
Elizabeth

Entering into a marriage
Entering into a marriage life isn’t just easy you have to think several times and take into consideration some important matters such as your willingness to commit yourself to your future husband. Some brides are very much particular to the financial capability of their future other half. As much as practicality is concern, almost all of us want to experience a stable and established life. They want to be financially ready as they exchange their “I do” Marriage is a life long commitment, they have financial responsibility that are need to be accomplished.An increasing number of people looking into a mortgage refinancing are elder Americans, who have had their payments put far beyond their reach.This makes them at great risk for mortgage fraud as well, as many parasites are jumping on the bandwagon. Elder citizens, especially those on a fixed income, are at an increased risk of foreclosure due to income levels, and many offers contain red flags for fraud are extended to senior citizens for mortgage loan modification and installment loans.
National Flip Flop Day
That is a very interesting topic, Thanks, I learn a lot. But aside from that breaking report, let me share something new report to you. National Flip Flop Day doesn't technically exist; although a chain of fruit smoothie stores insist it should. Well, to be truthful, National Flip Flop Day is a marketing gimmick that the Tropical Smoothie Café made up as a promo, but the good news is that even if you are waiting on your next pay day, you can get a smoothie for free if you wear flip flop style sandals into their stores, no low cost loans needed. The summer solstice approaches (except in the southern hemisphere – G'Day Australia!) and a lot of people are looking to get in the spirit, maybe even with a small cash loan and celebrating National Flip Flop Day.
