On Top of the World!

I have to give a big CONGRATULATIONS to one of my best and dearest friends, Sarah.

Why?

She is engaged!!!

Asked on December 28, 2010 by her beau, at the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado, over 14,000 feet up....it isn't much of a stretch to say that she is literally on top of the world!

I have watched their love story unfold and it has been incredibly exciting! Her example of purity and faithfulness has always inspired me and I couldn't be happier for my sweet friend! I have spent countless hours online, on the phone, and in person with Sarah praying, talking, dreaming, and encouraging. We have talked about the "What If's" and we have wondered together why it is always so difficult to trust God in every area of our life. It is always hard to surrender and let go of something you want and place it in the hands of our Father...and leave it there. But as it has been proven: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." (James 1:17)

He is faithful. He always has been. And He always will be. And once again, He reached down and brought two lives together.

So, CONGRATULATIONS Sarah and her soon-to-be-husband, Ben! May the Author of Love who has brought you this far, rain His blessings upon you and lead you, guide you, and strengthen you always.
