O LORD, you have searched me and known me!<\/em>
\n You know when I sit down and when I rise up;<\/em>
\n you discern my thoughts from afar.<\/em>
\n You search out my path and my lying down<\/em>
\n and are acquainted with all my ways.<\/em>
\n Even before a word is on my tongue,<\/em>
\n behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.<\/em>
\n You hem me in, behind and before,<\/em>
\n and lay your hand upon me.<\/em>
\n Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;<\/em>
\n it is high; I cannot attain it.<\/em>
\n Where shall I go from your Spirit?<\/em>
\n Or where shall I flee from your presence?<\/em>
\n If I ascend to heaven, you are there!<\/em>
\n If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!<\/em>
\n If I take the wings of the morning<\/em>
\n and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,<\/em>
\n even there your hand shall lead me,<\/em>
\n and your right hand shall hold me.<\/em>
\n If I say, \u201cSurely the darkness shall cover me,<\/em>
\n and the light about me be night,\u201d<\/em>
\n even the darkness is not dark to you;<\/em>
\n the night is bright as the day,<\/em>
\n for darkness is as light with you.<\/em>
\n For you formed my inward parts;<\/em>
\n you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.<\/em>
\n I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.<\/em>
\n Wonderful are your works;<\/em>
\n my soul knows it very well.<\/em>
\n My frame was not hidden from you,<\/em>
\n when I was being made in secret,<\/em>
\n intricately woven in the depths of the earth.<\/em>
\n Your eyes saw my unformed substance;<\/em>
\n in your book were written, every one of them,<\/em>
\n the days that were formed for me,<\/em>
\n when as yet there was none of them.<\/em>
\n How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!<\/em>
\n How vast is the sum of them!<\/em>
\n If I would count them, they are more than the sand.<\/em>
\n I awake, and I am still with you.<\/em>
\n(Psalm 139:1-18 ESV)<\/p>\n

This is a long story. \u00a0Camilla has been my Pilatus instructor for 3 years now and over this period we have had endless talks about God and His Word…always wondering if it was His plan for Camilla to get married?! \u00a0There was a few interesting tests of faith on the way…tests of faith and true obedience to God’s commands to be holy. \u00a0What an amazing journey to witness when a lady stays faithfull to her God and trusts in His sovereign plans. \u00a0And more so amazing, the day when she told me that there is a Godly man that she is starting to become more aware of. \u00a0And as if the preciousness of such a discovery was not enough, I truly praised God for the beautiful manner in which he wooed her and guided their relationship into a solid place.<\/p>\n

Because of my\u00a0acquaintance\u00a0I don’t get to see them together really, which made photographing their wedding day very special. \u00a0And not only could I sense in Camilla, prior to the wedding, that she is truly content with her new found love…I could clearly, shall I say, we all could clearly see that there is no end to this relationship! \u00a0Their love and friendship unfolded like a flower in front of my camera…just revealing more and more of it’s beauty!<\/p>\n

Praise to God for His work in their lives and that we can marvel at it’s God glorifying beauty. \u00a0Lots of love, Lucinda<\/p>\n

Thanks to:<\/em><\/p>\n

All the family and friends that celebrated the day with them and love them!<\/p>\n

All the special people who served this couple with their gifts, whether is was with a teaching, music, videography, flowers, cupcakes and many more that I might not even be aware of!<\/p>\n
