Dear Boaz,
This past weekend I went to two weddings. One was of a youth group student I met when she was in eighth grade. The other was of a childhood friend who I would get into all kinds of mischief with (ask me someday about the glue incident(s)). Now that I've had a few days to absorb and reflect on both ceremonies of these two close people in my life I can write about it now.
Thought #1: Seeing these ceremonies gets me all excited to get married! (When the Lord allows of course. Everything is obviously contingent on His timing for that particular event to occur. He's still preparing you to find me still so... ;-D)
Thought #2: I'm encouraged to see the love of the grooms for each of their brides. I'm so happy for each of my friends to have been found by such exceptional men. The stories of the ways they've sacrificed and pursued their wives just blows me away. My childhood friend's husband literally left his life on the East Coast, came to California and took a chance on pursuing a relationship with her. I mean wow, you know? Only God could have orchestrated their love story.
Thought#3: Watching the wedding ceremony, knowing the symbolism behind marriage itself moves me so profoundly every single time. I was tearing up watching them exchange vows. It's like seeing through a window to God's indescribable love, a small taste of seeing how much Christ(groom) loves the church (bride).
Anyway, it was a great weekend. To be a witness and being a part of such a significant day in their lives was so great. It only makes me pray for you more fervently that God is doing some incredible things in your life and can't wait to hear about them. (Hopefully sooner rather than later.) Until then my love...
Always,
Ruth
