On the Road
August 18th, 2005 by natalie
At 5:30 a.m., we’ll be off! Nicole’s wedding is this Saturday, so we’re making our way to Wisconsin today to have a day to prepare and set-up before the wedding. (It was absolutely not my idea to leave this early…it was Andy’s – my soon-to-be-brother-in-law. His family usually leaves at 3:30 in the morning, so he’s being easy on us. Now how, or why, anyone would come up with the idea of leaving at 3:30 in the morning is beyond me…)
Here’s something I’ve been contemplating recently: If the family unit as we know it will not exist in heaven, as Jesus indicates in His response to the Sadducees in Matthew 22:23-33, then why did God ordain it to be such here on earth? I would be interested to know what others’ understanding is of God’s purpose in this matter.
This is certainly a question worth contemplating as God is very deliberate in His purposes. And as we well know, this is an area under heavy attack right now in our society. It has been exciting to see God bringing together godly young men and women who have been joined together in marriage this year and who are committed to raising godly families who will have a great impact on the world in the years to come! I know that Andy and Nicole will be one such couple. 
I don’t know whether or not I’ll have an Internet connection over the next week, but I hope to post some pictures from the wedding as soon as I have the capability to do so.
