Witnessing A New Creation

Christi, Carter, and I just returned from a incredible time in Newport Beach. I had the honor of marrying Will Phelps to Amanda Peck. What a joy to witness another new creation as they now go off to spend a life together in Christ. Will the son of Bill and Andrea Phelps are caretakers and owners of the Phelps Wines located in Napa Valley along the Silverodo Trail. Amanda Phelps the daughter of Tom and Kathryn Peck are native to Southern California and are renown for their generosity and love.

The theme of the wedding was sacrificial love. It is a love that sees and endures pain while simultaneously moving to that person to renew them. It was the love displayed by our Lord Jesus. It was an appropriate theme as we all witnessed something beyond sight. We witnessed the creation and formation of a new life. Will Phelps will never be the same, nor Amanda Peck. As Christi and I drove home we had the glorious opportunity to drive along the 101 coast of California on our way home to Santa Barbara. As the mountains in front of our eyes touched the ocean, we swelled with thankfulness to tread this ancient design. Even more incredible a day earlier to witness an entirely new creation that did not already exist … but now does, a husband and wife becoming one flesh. Soli Deo Gloria! To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Sprit be the glory ….
