Stacy&Josh, 1000 Years, & Cookies

This past weekend, I had the opportunity honor to work on the wedding of my beautyfull niece and her handsome groom, Stacy and Josh Lane. 

 

I can’t tell you how stunning the bride was or how perfect the day turned out; you just had to be there.   And as usual, I didn’t take pictures, but praying that I’ll be able to share some of the shots once the photographers allow.  In the meantime,  here are a couple of special pictures and one little favor I managed to pull off for my new nephew by marriage!

Lord, let me live my life so that others may come to know you, simply by knowing me.

A true desire yet something I still fail at more than I’d like to admit!

But because of God’s grace, I will move faithfully forward and keep working toward being the person He calls me to be!

Much love and joy filled my heart this weekend, b
