The last couple of years have been incredible, God has touched my life in a way that has left me changed forever, and I have had the privilege in being apart of God touching so many other lives around me also. I have witnessed people healed physically, spiritually, emotionally. I have witnessed God provide in some pretty crazy ways, when nothing seemed possible. I have never felt so full of Joy and Hope as I do now and feel more alive and more real than ever. This last chapter has kept me of the edge of my seat!
So I am really excited about this next one, especially with the way it has started. We got married on the 6th October in the states, in a town called Hudson which is where Christy's home church is. After everything that we were involved in we had about a month together in the states to organise everything that needed sorting. All the doors just seemed to open for us when we needed them too, every little detail fell into place. We spent much time praying together also, for the day and for what it would look like next. Our photographer fell into our lap, a woman of strong faith, and only an hour away, we were her last booking of the season. The flowers worked perfectly, and the food was amazing, and family on my side who were thinking they would be unable to make it happened to get time to be able to join us.
A small example of God's faithfulness in the day, we prayed and felt we should marry on the 6th, even though we wanted to marry earlier (looking back this would not have been possible). We wanted to get married outside in Christy's backyard, but that door closed very quickly. So we prayed and felt like we should do everything, ceremony and reception at her home church. We are so glad we listened and submitted to this as the temperature dropped and we even got light snow on our wedding day!
Our biggest prayer for the day was that it would be a God focused ceremony. We were so blessed by what people said after. "How you really know God was present", "that it felt like a real wedding, not just a show/ceremony", "how full of Joy it was".
We are both so thankful for what God did and has done since, how he has brought us together. We are both really keen on continuing to write this chapter with him and see where we end up.
