I must say, it is surprisingly difficult to blog when I don’t have internet at home.

Having said that, I’m so excited for Ivy and Will, whose wedding was last Saturday, September 29th! It was a beautiful day, a day of watching a woman who about a year ago said, “I hate men and I’m never getting married,” let her heart be healed from deep pain, allow herself to be vulnerable with a man she trusted and to let him love her in order to bring out her gentleness and softness once again.

And its wonderful to see a man who chased a girl for months finally watch her walk down the aisle to him on their wedding day.

I didn’t take many pictures, but I hope to have them up soon.

I do, however, have a few pictures from the Tuesday night Bible Study, called the Vine, we do here at Mosaic Community Development. We have people from all walks of life come and share life together, building community and talking about the glory of God and how Jesus is truly our only hope and love. We have people from Coram Deo (my church), Creighton University, Grace University, and from the Siena Francis House, a place of shelter for those that are homeless, or recovering from addiction.

One great story from the Vine is that we had two folks from the Francis House come and join us, and we watched one of them fight his way out of addiction and into discipleship and a relationship with a woman also coming out of addiction. They recently got married, and although things aren’t perfect, its another amazing story of God working to redeem lives.
