The Beautiful Surrender

I ran the Niketown 5K with my friend Rachel and her husband Tim this weekend. It was so much fun! Here is our victory shot after the race!

A couple of weeks ago I found out that the Stolmans (some really good family friends from Michigan) were going to be at Disney World for their annual trip during my Spring Break. My family went with them to Disney for my senior year Spring Break so I thought a reunion tour might be kind of fun! I drove down on Tuesday and came back of Friday. We ate at some great restaurants, spent a whole day at Epcot, played volleyball, hung out by the pool, and had tons of fun! The crew included Mr. and Mrs Stolman, Brad, Lisa, Isaac, Brian, Brian’s room mate Michael, Katie, and Katie’s fiance Bryan. I am so tired but so glad that I went! I love time with the Stolmans! Here are some pictures from the trip! View of the Magic Kingdom from the sprites (little boats)

Today was my friend Sarah’s wedding and it was so much fun! I will post pictures of the fun some other time, but thought I would write about my favorite part of the wedding. Sarah walked down the aisle to the song “Come and Listen” by David Crowder. As she was walking you heard these words:

Come and listen, come to the water’s edge, all you who know and fear the Lord.
Come and listen, come to the water’s edge all you who are thirsty, come.

Let me tell you what He has done for me.
Let me tell you what He has done for me,
He has done for you,
He has done for us.

Come and listen,
come and listen to what He’s done.
Come and listen,
come and listen to what He’s done.

Praise our God for He is good.
Praise our God for He is good.
Praise our God for He is good.
Praise our God for He is good.

He has done for me,
He has done for you,
He has done for us.

Come and listen,
come and listen to what He’s done.
Come and listen,
come and listen to what He’s done.

I don’t think there could have been a more perfect song to walk down the aisle to your future husband to. It reminded me so much of God’s faithfulness and how good he is to us. It was so cool to see the look on Ryan’s face and see Sarah walk by and know their story and what a precious gift they are to each other. It also made me think about how thankful I am for all that God has done in my life. I was so thankful for Chris on my left and Ruth on my right. God has done so much for me and he is forever faithful. Come and listen, come and listen to what He’s done….
