A Crazy Week and A Wedding

Life Lately

This Friday’s newsletter will be a little different.

Life has been crazy for me the past few days, mostly due to a wedding I was helping with that took place Memorial Day weekend (for a young lady who attends a Bible study my husband and I do at our home). I ended up being the wedding coordinator, MC and photographer…although this was a small wedding (65 guest) I wouldn’t recommend doing this to anyone UNLESS you absolutely love logistics, planning, and are OK with handling difficult family dynamics…and of course you have to LOVE to the bride and groom…and I do! So this was an honor and privilege for me. Needless to say, this was a 4 day ordeal (after weeks of planning) between decorations, leading rehearsals, last minute changes, and the wedding itself. It took a whole 2 days to recover (my husband included; as he was holding down the home front by himself).

The funniest moment of the wedding: When the bride asked me if I knew where her wedding dress was…I did not. But we found it 🙂 Later followed by the groom asking me if I knew were the rings were…I also did not! But we found them as well 🙃 Gotta love it!

So I’ll leave you with short but important note on what’s happening tomorrow (June 1) and a simple list of “Cool Things from the Internet”. I hope to return to regular, full NCM content next week!

Love,

-Andrea

Short Read, Big Gains

The world says June is Pride/LGBTQ+ Month.

The Axis publication provides a GREAT video resource to give you ideas on how to dicuss this with older children from a Christian perspective.

From Axis, “Tomorrow is June 1, which means social media will soon be filled with rainbow-colored brand logos and flag-adorned profile pictures. For Christian parents, Pride Month often means having more conversations with teens about sexuality, gender identity, and LGBTQ+ people. At Axis, we believe God’s design for sexuality is good and holy. We also understand that it can feel daunting to wade through the multitude of cultural conversations to really speak to the heart of the teens in our lives and point to the freedom and joy God offers us. In our 7 Minute Video on Pride Month, we discuss the origins of the celebration, the ways that it relates specifically to Gen Z, and how the love of Jesus is available to all people, even those who don’t live by His teachings.”
