The past few days have been a flurry of phone calls, tissue paper flowers, and details, details, details. My kindred spirit, Taryn, is getting married next weekend, and I have the honor of being her maid of honor. Sometimes weddings seem overwhelming and crazy, but whenever I step back and think about her wedding, I smile at the beauty of it. A lovely wedding is appropriate for them.
As the bride she will wear white not merely because that is the tradition, but because she is truly pure--not perfect, but pure by the grace of Jesus.
As a couple they will enjoy their honeymoon in complete fullness. For that I am both proud and joyful.
When I stand beside her that day, I will smile with confidence that even if they face difficulties, they will overcome them, for this marriage is not contingent merely upon happiness, but on holiness, and from that holiness will bring joy unending.
Here's to Tim and Taryn, who desire God more than wealth, fame, or one another.
