One of my favorite photos ever is from the night I arrived: I'm in my mom's arms and I'm staring at my brother and reaching out for him, the joy on my face apparent as I grasp to be held by him. We don't get to choose our family, but in my case my family chose me. And since then I've been struck by how choice reflects a deeper and greater love than I could have imagined, for it belies a purpose and clarity of mind. From the moment that picture was taken, my brother chose to take care of his baby sister and set about being the best big brother a four-year-old could be.
Throughout our lives, we've fought and cried and laughed with each other, but more importantly we chose to pray and hope for each other. I've spent years praying for my brother's future wife; that she be a Godly woman and as giving of her time as he is since he has such a gift for mentoring young people; that he would recognize that she was chosen for him and it would be clear who she was... and that she can handle his long showers and stubborn will! I'm very happy that he found such a woman and more in Sarah.
On Saturday, June 26th, they chose each other for life and began the new adventure of being married.
Enjoy!
