Well the long awaited day happened. Saturday at 6 my daughter and I walked down the path to her waiting future husband. I will tell you I was pretty calm when it all started. I had been a nervous wreck starting about Wednesday. I was so preoccupied that now I am behind for the church planting class this Saturday and on top of that my ministry assistant is on vacation for her anniversary. I smell overtime.

Saturday afternoon when the guests started arriving and some of my relatives and friends found out I was doing most of the ceremony several pulled out their wallets and started placing bets on in what part of the ceremony I would break down. If you want to know the truth I was betting on the personal remarks time in the ceremony. I prayed all day that this be my daughters day and that I not embarrass me or her. I held it together except for one minor gaffe: “place her finger on her left hand.” That is what they told me I said anyway.

Anyway, I feel so much lighter today. Ray and Anna Carver are on their honeymoon and currently making their home in Elijay. Anna needs a PR job if anyone is looking. She has a degree from UGA in Communications. Loves editing, events, and is a hyper creative person. And beautiful. Both are dedicated Christians and will make some church great servants.

Now that doesn’t have a thing to do with church planting. But it sure made me feel better.
