Being Married (First of Many)

Just wanted to write a blog about being married. I'm not going to be as descriptive as my wife was on her blog (see here), however I will say the ceremony was perfect as were the pictures and the reception (though the reception is a big blur).

I must give a shout out to my good friend/mentor Dr. Mosser. It was the first wedding that he has officiated, and as I reflect all I can say is thank you. He said everything that needed to be said, and most importantly made the primary aspect of the wedding about God (or at least attempted to remind everyone that it should be about His glory first and fore-most). Again, thank you Doc for all the hard work in preparing us for marriage and reminding us to walk with God down this road, and rest in the comfort that He is with us always. He also used a passage in Hebrews as the passage and I loved it!

After two weeks of being married all I can say is that it is a blessing. Many would have us believe what the culture says about marriage is true, and that it is not worth it. I know I am a newly wed, but I can already see the joy's of this sacred union. Thanks be to God for giving marriage to us, and thanks be to God for giving me such an incredible wife to walk with in faith.

I will be posting a blog in the near future that I wrote a few months back but didn't get a chance to post. I thought it would be good to give a few thoughts about marriage before I dropped a possible bomb. Consider this post the first of many posts about marriage, as I am sure God will give me new insights to life and Himself as Carissa and I grow together. God is good.

God bless,
Sean
