Life

Wow - I've got life on the mind right now because I just got a text from a friend saying she's engaged, exciting!, and a minute before that I read an email from one of my Greek girls letting me know her dad suddenly passed away last week. Please pray for her. Isn't it true that He gives and takes away - let's choose to bless His name together.

With the mention of "engaged" my mind goes to the 2 weddings I went to the past 2 weekends. What incredible Christ-centered celebrations they were!

Here we have Andrew and Cara Henry! Cara and I went to elementary school together and reunited, thanks to Campus Crusade, in college. She is so dear to me and I am thrilled that the Lord blessed her with such a godly man. During the reception he asked all of us to hold them accountable to spending their lives together sharing the Gospel - love that! I also loved the daffodils, the tri-tip, seeing friends from long ago, and of course. . .the dancing!

And here we have Kelly (and Matt) Grieve! I got to know Kelly her freshmen year at Cal Poly. I was her Bible study leader and discipler for 3 precious years. How I love this girl - and though I do not have a picture of her hubby know that I think he complements her so sweetly. It was a huge honor to do a scripture reading for them during the ceremony - now I will always think of them when I read those wonderful verses in Romans 12. I also loved being a part of the set-up and tear-down, the 20 different desserts at the reception, and the incredible hospitality of her whole family, and the beautiful bouquet of orange tulips that I was sent home with.

I would show you more pictures but it's not letting me so this will do for now. Praise God for His design of and intent for marriage and that these 2 couples get to live their lives for His glory together!
