Unfailing Love – Patrick & Dorothy
Our first wedding for 2012!
There wasn’t much planned for January, when we suddendly got so many last minute bookings and since then we’ve just been working around the clock to get all the work out in time! BLOGs to me is then last in line! But greatfully we are almost getting to the end of one very busy season! Praise God for the strength He’s giving us, to work and fellowship and still grow in our study of His Word, with His Holy Spirit purging us day by day for His Glory. And then He comes in His sovereign plan for our life and let us cross paths with a lovely couple like Patrick & Dorothy.
Patrick is German and Dorothy South African with a little bit of Greek from her Mom’s side and living in Switserland…quite a unique combination! They’ve been married for a year already and since then, had so many challenges to face before they could finally get the chance to share in this with their family and friends. Seeing that they absolutely love the Alps of Switserland, Didima Camp nestled below the Cathedral Peak of the Drakensberg was the obvious choice for this celebration. The 3 days we spent here together with Patrick & Dorothy and their intimate group of friends and family was an absolute blessing. Apart from the wedding, we also had the privilege of doing an engagement shoot and Love Story for them. The most amazing Love Story…what a testimony of God’s unfailing love and faithfulness when faced with difficulties.
There is so much I want to say about Patrick & Dorothy! We miss them.
Patrick and Dorothy, thank you so much for your beautiful testimony and your LOVE. Love can have many colours, but God’s Love in a couple is different.
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” – 1 Cor 13:4-7 ESV
May you grow day by day. May you understand how sovereign our God really is and how sinful we really are. May you stand in awe when His Spirit changes you more and more as you grow closer and closer to His Truth and Love. We love you very much! Lucinda and Petrus
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.” – Ephesians 1:3-14 ESV
