3 weddings and a graduation

Whew. It's been such a full three weeks! A very fun and joyful three weddings that I had a "front-row seat" to as a bridesmaid. It really is beautiful to watch God bring two people together as husband and wife and to witness this celebration of their marriage covenant. As I've been in these weddings, it's great to see how each wedding really represented the couple getting married and reflected their unique personalities.

Like Nathan and Erica Kurcsak -- who began their ceremony on May 5th by singing a worship song together. What a great way to set the tone of worship together! And it's a picture of how I know God has already used them -- to lead many to worship Christ through their relationship.

And then Mark and Susan Clark whose weekend and wedding on May 12th was full of the joy of Christ that they reflect together so well! In fact, there was even some spontaneous laughter during their vows which I think is such a picture of the freedom Christ has given them to love fully -- making the most serious commitment you can make to another person with confidence in the One whose faithfulness they trust.
And last, but certainly far from least, was the wedding on May 19th of Jonathan and Nicole Davis. In fact, since it was so recent ... and I haven't uploaded pictures yet ... I'm just going to have to write about theirs in a future posting. It really was beautiful to watch God bring these two together, and to see their solemnity as they made their vows to one another. Their relationship speaks so deeply of the loyalty and faithfulness that only Christ can give between two people.

So...three weddings. And now in three days, my graduation from Westminster. Which will certainly be a celebration of a different type. It still hasn't sunk in yet. But I'm sure it will as I walk across the stage to receive my Master's diploma on Thursday.

May has become from beginning to end the month of celebrations!
