I love weddings! And this one was especially special because we got to see so much family that we rarely get to see. This is all of the cousins that were there- the 5 in the middle are the Schroeder siblings, Leah on the end representing for the Vaughn side and Darren on the other end representing for the Meisel side. I wish I had a good picture of the bride and groom because they are a gorgeous couple. You can check out my cousin’s blog for some better pictures.
We had such a wonderful time catching up with family and celebrating the marriage of Dusty and Chrissy. Their love for Christ was certainly evident through their ceremony, reception and testimony from friends and family. They had an “open mic” during the toast at the reception and it was so special to hear testimony after testimony of God’s faithfulness and goodness. My sweet cousin, Charity, said something that touched my heart. She encouraged the newlyweds to walk closely with God because that is the only thing that will hold their marriage together. This is something that God has been teaching me. In fact that very morning I was reading in 1John and I was meditating on the verse that says”… if we walk in the light as he is in the light that we have fellowship with one another…” I know that when I am not “walking in the light” by having daily fellowship with God in his word and prayer that my relationship with Darren is shallow and not fulfilling and I am selfish, impatient and unkind. It’s necessary to be reminded of our daily need for Christ.
