Happiness is obedience
My dear friend Lesa got married this past weekend. It was such a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding. I met Lesa 7 years ago in Ivanovo, Russia. We worked together over there. She is "Aunt Lesa" to Christian and a host of other TCK's.
Like us, Lesa had difficulties staying in Russia and moved to Estonia. She began working there and attending church there. She met a man named Sasha and they became friends. If I get the story right -- after a few months, he "called off" the relationship and her heart was broken, because God had already told her that he was the one. She waited patiently for 3.5 months and he finally called her and said that he wanted to be friends again. Lesa was thankful and greatful for the friendship. A week and a half later, he asked her to marry him!!! She said yes and 3 months later they were married!!!
They shared their testimony of how God worked in their lives during the wedding ceremony. Sasha said, "It is better to be in God's will even if there are obstacles, than to be outside of God's will." (or something to that effect.
I am so happy for my friend and her husband! Blessings on them and their future together in Estonia!!
