On May 5, Scott and I made a new covenant with each other and God, promising to submit to one another, allow God to use us to build each other as He intends, love, honor, respect, appreciate, care for, protect, and enjoy each other through all circumstances in this life. It was a beautiful ceremony we assembled from God's Word with Chad Pullins, the pastor God put in our lives. Family and friends were there, too, and it was such a blessing to see how God has blessed us with friends in this small community. It was affirmation that He truly led us here! Elmer & Inga and Rusty & Heather threw an eastern Carolina pig pickin' (Buster cooked the pig) for us afterwards at Elmer & Inga's, Joanie & Sarah provided the slaw, potato salad and a tres leche cake that was out of this world, Miss Pearline brought the 16 layer pineapple cake (Scott's favorite!) to complete the sugar coma, Douglas and Nancy brought beautiful plants for the porch... it was all wonderful. Scott's family bought for us a porch swing, on which they burned "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.", and then provided sharpee markers for everyone to sign the swing. What an awesome momento and gift! We are excited for when the porch is ready to support a swing!We're waiting for photos from Craig & Cathy and Nancy & Doug, and then we'll post more!
We just thank God that He is so faithful...He promises to show Himself strong in the lives of those whose hearts are devoted to Him...and He continues to...
...and I can't help hear "Strength and honor are her clothing, she shall rejoice in time to come." (Proverbs 31:25) I'm rejoicing! I've been rejoicing for the past year and a half, and I'm not going to stop! THANK GOD! :)
