Redemption Song

The Long's have finally tied the knot! Robin was, not surprisingly, a breath-taking bride who threw a fabulous and elegant celebration on Saturday. I would venture to say that I cry at most weddings I attend - I can't help myself. But on that gorgeous afternoon in the valley when Robin headed down the aisle eyes locked on Matt she just looked perfect, confident, and stunning. In that moment, with the sweet sound of Amazing Grace playing, the tears that escaped my eyes felt different than other wedding tears. They shared the same wedding tears purpose: perfect day, beautiful bride, groom's awe, celebration of love and commitment... but on Saturday I felt that I was on seriously holy ground, and knew beyond a shadow of a dobt that what I was witnessing was a truly sacred moment. Matt and Robin have a beautiful story, full of grace and redemption, with God's hand visibly behind their coming together. It was a beautiful and holy day, and I look forward to walking with them as God's good hand continues to bless their marriage.
