One of the dearest friends God has ever graced me with got married yesterday at 4 p.m. to the man she has been waiting for. It was the most beautiful wedding I have been to...and believe me when I say I have been to a lot! Being a violinist I have played many weddings and about half of those I may not have known the people but I have discernment enough to know whether the couples really loved each other or not....When they did there was a radiance and joy that filled the whole room.
The Purity of yesterday's ceremony intoxicated the whole place....at least us girls ...or rather for me :) Every single one of us were practically weeping! Pure Love is the Best!!
There were 9 bridesmaids....we all represented (as another bridesmaid so beautifully put it) Stephanie's deposits all over Georgia, Alabama, and other states. Not all of us knew each other, but we all at least knew one other person. There was a sweet fellowship in the brides room before the wedding that only the Holy Spirit could have brought. I had a present for Steph......a song and after that we prayed over her.
I thought that the song I wrote was about me and for me, but I quickly realized it wasn't....and God showed me...it was for Stephanie. My plan had been to record it for her on my new macbook....lol...however I didn't exactly receive the computer in adequate time and so I presented it to her live in the room across the hall which fortunately had a piano in it. So I told her the story of the song and how I thought it was for me.... and then I sang it to her...She cried. I contained my emotions with only a few mess ups on the piano. It was a sweet time.
I love that woman of God so much.. Stephanie has always been the one to encourage me to keep writing songs. Always telling me how they had encouraged her and inspiring me to not give up on what God had put in my heart. I was so honored to be involved in her day! And I am so privileged to share in her Joy! Congratulations Stephanie and Josh Fleming....
