Wedding

This past weekend Michael and I joined the Roger's family in sunny San Diego to celebrate the marriage of their daughter Erica to Jim Dublin.
Erica was GORGEOUS. The ceremony was BEAUTIFUL. Time with the Rogers was WONDERFUL.

Here are a few photos by a very handsome photographer.

If you know me, or have followed my blog than you know of my relationship with Holly, and the Roger's family. You know how deeply I love them. You know that God has been generous in giving them to me, and in writing them into my life.
This weekend I finally got to meet extended family, best friends since childhood, and band members (Dan was in a band in the late 70's-early 80's). I have longed to meet these people because they are a part of the Roger's story, and so they are woven into my story.

"Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God." Ruth 1:16

I imagine the deep community we will all have in Heaven, because in Jesus we belong to each other. Our stories are all woven into each others stories, in Jesus' story. I imagine that upon seeing each other there will be a firm embrace, that we will look close at each other to see- do you have His nose, His laugh, His walk, His expressions, tenderness, enthusiasm, etc...

I look forward to seeing Him in you. I know already that you belong to me (tears).
I look forward to the reunion, the celebration, the wedding- when we are all, finally, in the fullness of the Bridegrooms love better than life, together.
