“The Perfect Wedding”

| Laura Lee Bonde

I didn’t need a dress
or an aisle to
enter
into the future
God’s planned for me

I didn’t need permission
or counseling to

down
in my heart’s
the truth of our love

all I needed was God
telling me to
step
into your arms
where He’s writing the rest

As we were out and about shopping, God had a few things on His list for me to do. At the first store we went to in the mall, a young lady was working…all tatted out. The print and colors on her shirt matched one of her tattoos very well, so I commented on it. She said, “Yeah,” giggled, and kept on walking past. As she walked away, God began to speak to me about her. Continue reading →
