Life with the Warren Family: June 2013

SIMPLY AMAZING!!

I cannot think of any better words to describe the WEDDING WEEKEND in June for Aaron and Victoria Hood and Dayton and Abigail Warren! It was a glorious time of anticipation, fellowship, laughter, and being allowed once again to experience the love that flows between a bridegoom and his bride! A time when we can again see an earthly picture of the Heavenly Feast that our Bridegroom, Yahushua, has planned for all of us! These weddings are exciting, full of emotion, and wonderful! This leads me to dream of what the most perfect Bridegroom of all time, Yahushua, has in store for His bride! HALLELUJAH!!

The Wedding Story of Dayton and Abigail Warren really begins in 2010. Our family, (the Warrens) were in Jerusalem for the Harvest of Grapes with Hayovel! Monty was asked to pick up a father and daughter from the airport. The father was Paul Brendemuhl and the daughter was Abigail! As Yahuah would have it, they stayed with us for the weekend and endured all kinds of excitement with the Warren family! To say the least, this time bonded Monty and Paul. They studied and discussed scripture until the wee hours of the morning and all of us made it through being stranded outside of Jericho with a broken van! The dads had become fast friends, but none of us were thinking about how Abigail was going to impact Dayton's life and ours as well!

As we skip to 2011, we (the Warrens) were once again in Jerusalem with Hayovel. Wonderful times for sure!!! The Brendemuhls were coming for harvest! Woo Hoo!! Yes, the whole family! BUT, they could not find a place to rent. WELL, the Father had blessed us with an amazing house with lots of room. SO, what better place for the Brendemuhl's to stay than with us!?! Yet again, the Father was putting His plans in order without us even knowing! Our minds were focused on the betrothal of our oldest son, Barrett, to his lovely bride, Devin, so once more our eyes were closed as to how dear the Brendemuhl Family would become to us! We just knew that we had a MARVELOUS time in that house with all of its occupants!

THE WONDERFUL HOUSE THAT YAHUAH GAVE US IN JERUSALEM!!!!

SOME FOLKS FROM THE HOUSE...INCLUDING THE B'S! ABIGAIL IS FRONT AND CENTER!!

In December of 2012, Dayton began to feel that the Father was leading him to pray for a bride! As his parents, we were in agreement! He and his dad spent time together talking about what Dayton was looking for in a wife. Spiritually and physically. Family Week in Kentucky came along and Dayton was still in prayer about a bride. We spent some time with the Brendemuhl's and continued to realize how much our families had in common, but Dayton was not ready to approach Paul. Dayton and Monty were spending so much time in prayer and over time the Father made it clear that Abigail was the one! The Brendemuhl's came to our farm for a visit and during their visit Dayton became sure that Abigail was who he should pursue. Dayton went to Monty and told him that he was ready to approach Paul. He didn't want the Brendemuhl's to leave for Alaska without at least asking. Monty told Dayton that he would speak to Paul on his behalf, but he also explained to Dayton that this would probably be a long process. Dayton prepared himself to not have an answer before they left. Monty spoke to Paul on a Thursday and then we hunkered down for what we thought could be a long wait! SURPRISE!!!!! Four days later Paul told Dayton and Monty that he had spoken to Susan, Abigail's mom, and to Abigail and they were all in agreement that Dayton was the GUY for Abigail!!!! Imagine our utter shock and complete happiness!!! The Father in Heaven has a wonderful way of making His plans come to fruition!!

Paul and Susan brought Abigail out to our barn and right then and there Dayton dropped to one knee and spoke a very sweet proposal! Abigail said "YES!" And things began to move rather rapidly! It was decided that the wedding needed to take place before the Brendemuhl's went back to Alaska. This was a decision based somewhat on finances, but Dayton and Abigail, I must say, were thrilled with the plan!!

SWEET PROPOSAL

And this is where the Hood's and Waller's made such a beautiful and generous offer! We could share the Wedding Weekend with Aaron and Victoria!! What an answer to prayer! The Father continues to bring forth His amazing plans! We just need to sit still and know that He is Elohim!!

And now we are to the present, and this wonderful weekend! The wedding of Aaron and Victoria came first! It was beautiful! I will let their families tell you all about it! AND THEN IT WAS DAYTON AND ABIGAIL'S TURN!!!! Shabbat came and went and no sounding of the shofars! Then came the morning...and Dayton was told that it was time to go get his bride!! The SHOFARS SOUNDED!!!! Abigail had her dress and was ready to meet her groom at the appointed place!!
