So today is the day! I can’t believe that it’s actually here. It’s been a fast and slow journey. I get to become Mrs. Rachel Murphy today!
Last night, I tried to explain how I felt and the only words that I could come up with was dumbfounded, blessed and amazed. today on our wedding day, I want brag on my husband to be.
While I was in college, God told me that I would marry a pastor, and that I already knew him. I thought that was strange, but said okay. Several years alters, I had kinda forgotten that He had told me that.
A year or so, during a bible study some friends of mine said to make a list of my must-haves for my future husband so that if he matched my list, I would know that he was it, the one whom my heart loves! I thought I would share the list, because it describes Bill perfectly.

Also, Bill is a graduate of DTS and does ministry with a pastor’s mindset, so that part came true. I also happened to know Bill while I was in college, so that part came true. I got reminded of God’s promises one day while I was out and it freaked me out a bit. I knew that Bill was it.
I am excited to get to marry Bill and share it with some amazing people!
Love, Rachel
