Faith: It Can Happen! Beautiful Proposal and Wedding of Young ChristianCouple

As I was doing some research yesterday, I came across this article about a young man that proposed and married his wife on the same day! Ryan Leak, for over a year, planned the wedding using his then girlfriend's, Amanda Roman, Wedding Pinterest board that had over 200 pins. The background story is that he overheard Amanda speaking to one of her friend's that she wanted to get engaged and married on the same day. Ryan executed his bride's dream wedding successfully without her knowledge.

I wanted to share their story because it was a answered question that I posed to God. I will not expose the question but I will tell you that the answer is that "It Can Happen". God is willing and able to do above and exceedingly all we could ever ask for (Ephesians 3:20). If you are a true follower of Jesus Christ please believe that He loves you and wants the best for you. Amanda, I am sure, never saw this coming and waited 5 years to hear Ryan say "I Love You" and propose. I will allow Ryan to explain why in the video. 

The Lord is always working out things in the spiritual realm for our benefit because He and only He will receive the glory. The Lord was gloried in their wedding and because of their story it has edified and encouraged me to believe that God is able. No prayer is too ridiculous, small or big for Him. Please believe that it can happen. To read the full article and to watch the mini documentary of the proposal and wedding here is the link to theGrio website. You can also watch the video below:

A Change is Happening

It has been a very long time since we have posted anything to the blog. Like we stated in the previous post our lives had become extremely busy. Work, family, friends, mission's trips, traveling and extracurricular activities consumed our lives so much, that we did not dedicate enough time to Storm Riders. Well, all of that is going to change. We will be posting regularly each week. Monday and Friday will have new entries. You can also connect with us on Twitter, Pintrest, Goggle+, Youtube and Facebook. 

When the year began, we were in Liberia celebrating Christmas and New Years. It was our first time back to the country in over 20 years. So much happened on that trip ( we will expound in another entry) that we knew something was around the corner. We both felt like this was the year for change. God is doing a new thing not just in us personally but also in the body of Christ. We have gained so much knowledge in the Word, who we are in Christ, our creation roles and what the Church should really look like in the past year. We are so excited to share these revelations and experiences with you! There is an overwhelming awakening to truly live our lives according to the Word of God. We have been challenged in the last year on our faith, what we have believed to be true in our walk and what the Bible really says about the roles we play in our families and church community. 

We also want to hear from you about the changes that are going on in your life and the challenges that you have had to face. It is the consent renewing of your mind that will allow the perfect Will of God to be illustrated in your life (Romans 12:2). Jesus is perfecting His Bride and making her beautiful for the ceremony. Please continue to believe and have faith that a change is going to come in your life, family, friends, church community and the body of Christ. Watch, pray and keep riding the storm.
