As we prepare for my second son’s wedding this weekend, nostalgia, excitement and prayers are abundant.  It has been so exciting to see our son find love and develop the relationship with a wonderful girl.  It has been my prayer since by children were small that they would find partners that love the Lord and want to serve him first.  What a joy to see that happening!

From the day he was born, Trevor has been the peacemaker in the family.  He does not like to see people hurting and always finds way to lighten the mood and make us laugh.  Watching him develop his love for music has been another amazing journey.  The dedication he had learning guitar and piano on his own was impressive.

His fiancé is a special woman of God too. I have enjoyed getting to know her and her family.  I see the love she has for my son.  Helping people who are struggling is a lifelong goal for her.  Her personality is a perfect match for Trevor and I love watching them solve problems together.  She is a wonderful addition to our family.

The wedding is a very special day but not what I have been preparing for during the life of my son.  It was more about a process of helping him know how to treat a lady, how to be the man that loves and serves the Lord first, and how to be independent.  I am so proud of the young man he has become and am excited to see God use this couple in advancing His kingdom.

So bring on the craziness of wedding week!  We are ready!
