redemption

one year and one day before their wedding i wrote about mary. i was in awe of her story and what she was clinging to. she knew God had redemption in mind for her, she believed it with everything she had. and there we were a year later, the girl with those beautiful eyes and smile that would melt any heart waiting for her groom. she didn't know it would be him, but God's gift to her came in the form of a faithful man.

God is redemptive, and the things that get messy along the way will be made beautiful in His own time. i suppose nothing is a better picture of that than a wedding. a bride and a groom, with different backgrounds come together and hope that their union will be a blessing. they are bringing everything they've got in hopes of blessing each other and the lives of their family. messy yes, imperfect absolutely, but genuine beyond belief.
