11.14.09- Day 178

Karen and Mark's Wedding Day! (pictures courtesy of Allie Clark's blog since I'm too lazy to upload mine)
Don't they look so happy! I loved their ceremony and how it pointed to Christ during every part. I can't wait to see the ways that God uses them together as a married couple!

All the JBU crew together! Big reunion!
Crazy Rice Wedding Exit!

This was a beautiful day in many ways. The weather was perfect- I wore short sleeves to a November wedding! There were many friends nearby. God was honored. Fun was had. Just a lovely day.
I had a conversation with an old friend from JBU after the wedding about how there is just something special about the connection of JBU'ers. We're not sure what it is, but perhaps our hearts were all knitted together in someway to bring Christ's kingdom to earth. We may never even know what specific purpose he has for us as part of his Church, but we feel the bond deeply.
(It could also have something to do with the fact that we all lived in Siloam Springs for 4 years and had to get creative about how to have fun. Several of the boys were definitely jumping over the leaping fire after the after-reception reception. I'm sure Alan would have been right in there with them if he could have come.)
