It's crazy to think Kara & Jeremy will be celebrating their one-year anniversary soon!
Pearl and I met Jeremy years ago when we first moved to Lancaster. Jeremy and I had a brief season of co-teaching 4th graders (he's amazing on stage!) where I learned just what a huge, fun-loving heart he had. I'd watch him go into character and have kids glued to his every move like a Oscar-winning actor. Not only can he captivate students' attention, but he is also a gifted designer and stage director.
We met Kara when she was introduced as the new LCBC Church Middle School Events Coordinator. She was quiet, gentle, and able to blend into any room. But really she was a sleeping dragon. Over the years of working with Kara, she has shown that she is a detail guru. Her ability to create sustainable systems, clear next steps, and jaw-droppingly excellent events has caused her to win the heart and trust of many opinionated leaders. She walks into our meetings, gently takes her place at the table, and with a quiet strength, leads.
When rumors started that Kara and Jeremy had crossed paths and attraction was in the air, we all knew the opening chapter of an amazing love story was starting to form.
Each of our pasts contain defining moments, some moments that we forever hold dear, others that we feel will haunt us until we die. The amazing thing about love--especially love that is defined by grace and forgiveness--is that every now and then it allows us to observe sacred moments. Sacred moments when love overpowers the past's poisonous lies and paralyzing fears, and when love sets hearts and hope free.
This is the story of Jeremy and Kara. A love story that is wrapped in redemption, grace, and love.
To capture their day was a great honor, but it's even more of an honor to be called their friend.
