Ive just finished writing my samoan speech for Enokas wedding (our cousin/bro who is getting married in two days in nz) and it just hit me that he is getting married for real. I guess i was subconsciously waiting for him to pull out and say its off, but saying goodbye to Lipo who is going too, just made it real to me. Its a huge committment to be entered into, and it should be with fear and trembling i guess, not with a possibility of divorce or separation. Nothing can scream Gods desire for unity so clearly than marriage!
im sad,but for selfish reasons, i want all my brothers to myself...but also glad that hes finally made a choice! A lifechanging choice i bet, but he will be better for it. Its a choice that definetly pleases God and for me thats enough to snap me out of my selfishness and be joyful.
Its a joyous occasion no doubt and i pray that Noka and his bride take it as a committment to the Lord first, then to each other. "Lord may they be founded on you, may their family be built on your love and truth,may they always find love in you, may they unite in you"
I pray also that me and Lipo,take a new flavour of faith to Nz with us. That we can stand against conformity and declare what God has done for us without fear.That the Lord will strengthen us in the shortime we are there so we can be a shoulder to lean on, a calm and refuge for those already caught up in the wedding madness.That we maybe a voice of discernment and wisdom, that we may be peace makers.I pray that I dont get stressed myself I pray that we take the Lord with us!!!
i look forward to it.....to letting my brother go to be cared for and loved by the woman God has chosen for him. To be blessed by her and vice versa, so they can go forth and multiply and give me great and wonderful nieces and nephews :p
Yes, its all about me!!!
