I remember my dear friend Rachel pulling me aside days before my wedding and saying, "your biggest ministry now is to each other."
In the middle of figuring out how to feed 160 people three days before the wedding, getting my dress refitted because it was too long, and figuring out where tables should go during the reception those words didn't quite sink in yet.
However, during our honeymoon David and I spent an evening going through all our wedding cards we received. What a blessing that was, we just praised God that night for giving us such wonderful friends and family! When I got to Rachel and Sean's card I saw she had written the same words inside the card. I need to be reminded of things sometimes, so I was thankful she did that. :)
Three months after our wedding, as we learn to live together, figure out our little quirks, and do life together, we continuously go back to their advice. We both mess up, sin, don't meet each other's expectations, and miscommunicate. But how awesome it is to know we're in it together. Committed to seeing each other grow, forgiving and showing grace... I love the place where God has me right now. I am learning so much.
Sanctification.
Sean and Rach - thank your so much for your friendship and we're so excited to meet Ellie!!!
