They're Married!

As the newlyweds honeymoon at a resort in the Ozark Mountains, I have been busy throwing together a website with some of the pictures taken at their wedding. It was so beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a prettier day for an outdoor wedding.

This is a temporary website that I literally threw together (with the help of my niece Emilie : ) so please don't expect too much!

These young people have made some committments to each other and to God that most wouldn't dream of making. Included in those committments was to experience their first kiss as husband and wife. There is a photo on the website which captures that special moment.

Watching them kiss for the first time was like experiencing the joy of training them up in the way that they should go. I had my doubts at times. There were days that I felt I was wasting my time because my kids didn't hear a word I said much less the still small voice of the Lord. I kept plugging away, day after day, year after year in obedience to what I believed my Father was encouraging me to do and this past weekend I was able to enjoy the fruits of my labors.

Both of these young people were homeschoolers and I am delighted for my son to have chosen such a lovely young lady who loves and serves the Lord. He was raised to seek his bride's hand only after receiving the blessing of her father. In our day and age it seems a little out of place to be so formal with seeking parental approval but I imagine it will save them tons of heartache in the future and they are free to live their lives knowing they are loved and supported by a strong family network.

Blessings,
Julie
