She said yes! In April, Sophie Goolsby will become
Mrs. Brett Kernodle. We know that, “he who finds a
wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the
Lord,” but it’s always a special privilege and joy to see
two young people in the congregation find God’s
calling for their lives together. The church is, after all,
the place God calls us all together and there’s no
better place to find a spouse to walk the path God
calls us to than among the assembly of the saints.
And it is also now both our duty and privilege to lift them up in prayer as they prepare to embark upon their life together. As they join paths and prepare to serve the Lord as one flesh, we can pray for God’s favor and blessing upon them in all manner of ways: for Brett as she transitions to the head of a household, for Sophie as she steps into the role of his helper and confidant, and of course, for all the little details and plans and the things that go into making a wedding.
God created marriage and he delights in it when it is entered into and faithful kept by his children. God loves to give his children good gifts and this is one of them. Praise the Lord for his goodness and faithfulness!
