Another Engagement!

Another wedding is in the works and on the way! Kristy Cloud and Jon Sloan will be getting married in August of this year. Kristy is a pure testimony of James 1. This scripture tells us that the testing of your faith will produce endurance, and once that endurance is gain we will be perfect and complete lacking in NOTHING.

Kristy went through years of suffering because of a previous relationship that resulted in abuse to not only her, but to her three year old little girl. Kristy escaped the relationship, but in the past year has still been dealing with this situation. Because of the court's decision, her three year old little girl is required to visit her dad every other weekend. Can you imagine the pain, grief, fear, etc. of having to let go of your daughter for an entire wekeend knowing that the same hands that are guilty of abuse are responsible for "taking care" of your child for three whole days? Not a weekend went by where Kristy would shed many tears about having to pass her child on to her father. But through the tears and unbearable heartache, her faith increased and she continued to walk and believe in God's faithfulness. She still believes that God is going to redeem this circumstance and until then she clings to the promise of His word. Kristy clings to knowing that God has His best interest for her life and that

"if she could see the big picture that God sees, shed make the same decisions for her life"

Someone that has and somewhat is still walking through every mother's nightmare still has the faith to believe that God's hand is on her and her child's life. Because of gaining all the perseverance she carries with her, God has given her the most amazing, Godly handsome man ever girl dreams about. Jon is her prince that God has been saving just for her and the daddy her little girls never had.

When the trials and tribulations storm through your life, know that God has something so incredible on the other side. Kristy will be soon be the wife of an incredible pastor and she will be able to use her story to minister to women of all ages as she serves and stands next to her man.

Kristy, we are beyond proud of you. And the steadfastness you've obtained through your circumstances is encrouagement and a testimony for all of us to live by.

We love you!
