Words are a feeble way to capture the power of a day like this. It was a day of innocent beauty and pure joy. We had an absolutely wonderful experience celebrating with Chantel and her new husband. Few pleasures in this life equal that of seeing a friend uniting herself to her best friend for life to the glory of God.
Having the privilege of walking down life’s road the past few years, seeing how God has led her and brought her into this new season of goodness and intimacy is awe-inspiring. Chantel is the real thing; everything she writes in her articles has been learned in the intensity of the fire and God has used it to purify her, His daughter, into gold. All I can do is praise God and be amazed. He is so good.
I’m also savoring every last minute with these precious girlfriends who I am blessed to have in my life. Ashleigh, April, Chantel and Gretchen are some of the best friends anyone could hope for.
We serve an awesome, loving God who delights to give good gifts to His children. And today He gave two young people to each other to have, to hold, to love, and to cherish. Praise be to Him who gives, who takes away, whose name is blessed forever.

Scott and Chantel, Ashleigh, April, Natalie, & Gretchen
