The gentlemen were all asked to be apart of Trey and Stephanie’s wedding at the end of August! It was beautiful and so fun to get to be apart of.
The boys took to their roles with high priority. We kept calling it their job and coming from the ranch I think they truly understood what a job was. Mac really got to bear the ring and Merrick walked a sign down. They smiled for the pictures, they didn’t complain once about anything they were wearing. Upon getting dressed Mac commented “mom I’m feeling pretty handsome”….that my son you are…both inside and out!
I don’t know why but it never occurred to Chase and I that we would share our story while at this wedding. But of course it came up in conversation and it was so encouraging, both to us and those that wanted to know more. Whenever someone hears what we are doing they are usually struck with awe. They tell us about feeling trapped with their lives and jobs and the normal-ness they are living. And then they see and hear about real life humans doing something different and I pray that they see His light while we share our hearts. We have no idea what we are doing but we are trying to live intentionally while wisely stewarding all the He has given us. It caught me off guard sharing in this setting but I know nothing comes without a reason!
