I was honored to go to a wedding today for a couple of friends of mine. I know them through Monroe Community Church, and Eric W. asked if I'd go with him. The wedding ceremony itself was beautiful, Jordyn and Dan are so clearly in love, and Dan even got choked up when reading the vows he'd written. So sweet. :)
Me with the bride and groom :)
The reception was at The Bob, which was such a cool place to have a party!! The appetizers were yummy and the music was great. One thing that was so amazing, though, was when a few of the guys sang "Peace Like a River/It is well with my soul." I couldn't believe they sang it; just this morning I had been singing it to myself. Going to a wedding in October is a little hard when I miss my dad so much, but that song is a comfort. I had a deep feeling that I'd be hearing it again, and half expected it to be on the radio on the way to church or to sing it at MCC. I definitely didn't expect to hear it, seemingly out of the blue, at the reception! Something about it was deeply confirming for me, though I can't quite place why. It just gave me peace and freedom to just be.
It was so wonderful to see the sunset tonight, too. It seemed to echo the refrain once more:
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well,
with my soul.
