The Wedding

// September 26th, 2009 // Uncategorized

Today was a really nice day. I was up early to get in a bike ride and then I hit the gym. After the gym I came home and relaxed and tried to get myself prepared for the rest of my day. Today was a big day for two very special people in my life and I wanted to make sure I was feeling good enough to be able to attend. My Sickle Cell has been bugging me a bit and I am not sure why. There is some stress in my life, but no I would like to think I have it under control.

After the gym I came home ran a hot bath and I soaked for about an hour and then I stood up and took a long cold shower. I had already shaved the night before and even gave myself a facial so there I didnt have to worry about any of this. My goal was to get calm and get my Sickle Cell in check and that is just what I was able to do.

After I got out of the shower I spent some time listening to some of my favorite music, Jazz and Gospel and after a while of just laying on my bed and clearing my space I was ready to start getting dressed. Plus the fact that my niece called to make sure I was feeling up to it and also spent some time making me laugh was a huge help to.

Today was the wedding of my good friends Ryan and Moina and at first I didn’t think I was going to be able to make it, because I didn’t have anything to wear to a wedding, but thanks to my niece that was taken care of so I was able to be there for their big day. And what a big day it was.

The wedding was awesome, the church was decorated with red roses and two beautiful center pieces in the front of the church. Ryan was handsome and Moina was simply beautiful. It was hard to hear her speak her vows, but I am sure this is because she was so overwhelmed with happiness and joy. Her face was simply glowing when she faced the many people who filled the church in Burbank.

Other people I know were there as well and I had the huge honor of introducing them to my niece, Eric, Willow, Pam, Greg and Greg Jr. The wedding was awesome and the cool thing was that they took communion before the sealed their awesome day with a kiss.

Just seeing them walk down the aisle towards the back of the church was awesome and the smiles on their faces were simply a true testament of just how good God truly is. I was able to shake Ryans hand and even had the chance to hug Moina and tell her how beautiful she was.

For me that was the end of my day, my Sickle Cell really started to kick in while inside the church and I needed to get home and get some rest, so we were unable to attend the reception. My friend Eric texed to see where I was and I told him I wasn’t feeling well and had to go. I’ve been in bed since I got home 2 and half hours ago.

Moina and Ryan I wish you both all the best that God has to offer, all the joy, favor and fullness of God. Your wedding was simply spectacular and you both were glowing. Thank you so much for allowing me to share this very special day with you and your families. I am so humbled and honored to have been offered the opportunity, just as I am honored, humbled and so richly blessed to have you both in my life.

May the fullness of God always shine on you both and may your life together be filled with the fullness and favor of God. I love you both,

God bless you both and may God bless your wonderful union.

Love your brother in Christ,
