Wedding Buzz

This past week was the week of my Best Friends wedding. So it was filled with fun showers, luncheons, rehearsals, food, singing and celebrating the union the Lord brought together. I can't even begin to describe how amazing Kayla is and what an incredible friend she is to me. She is such a godly example, beautiful inside and out, unselfish, caring, considerate, SO loyal and just an all around blessing to be around. I was honored to have the privilege of being her maid of honor and getting to be a part of her special day. To me the whole day just had a fragrance of Christ on it. The Lord truly brought them together and gave them the desires of their heart as they continued to seek HIM and delighted themselves in Christ. I am beyond happy for them and can't wait to see all the Lord has in store for their lives together.

She was a gorgeous bride in every way, she looked like a beautiful princess and was so sweet, considerate and made everyone feel like they were the only one in the room.

Since my blog is called "While I am waiting" and its a view of the sweet journey of waiting on the Lord I just have to share this. Kayla had never ever dated anyone else and completely waited on the Lord to bring her husband to her. She served the Lord and sought after God with her whole heart during the season of singleness, all the while not knowing that God was molding her into being the perfect godly woman for Ben. What an incredible story of God's faithfulness and goodness, even in those desires in our hearts that we can't even fathom, He knows and He cares. Their story makes me want to love Jesus more and Know HIM more intimately.

At the rehearsal dinner they had a time of blessing where anyone could stand up and share a memory, some encouragement or a story. It was amazing to me to see how every single person who got up talked about how Ben and Kayla were a vessel the Lord used to grow them in Christ. What a HUGE compliment and incredible influencers they are at thier young age for the Lord. That is how I want my wedding and my relationship to one day look like, I don't want it to be about us, but be about Jesus Christ and who He is. May our lives be such a reflection of Christ that others see Him shining through in every step of our lives, the big and the small ones.
