By His wounds we are healed
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Honor of a lifetime getting to be a part of my brother @jakefox’s big day. Him and @mccraefoxx are two of the best people I know, and they’re even better together. Prayed a lot for Jake for a lot of reasons through his time in high school and beyond, and never could’ve prayed for a better wife for him than Mccrae. The wedding was a picture of who they are, people from different seasons of life and contexts.

I found out I was a groomsman for their wedding from Mccrae… when she asked Jake if he’d already told me, he said “yeah, I told Matt he was going to be in my wedding when I was in high school.” It’s a funny story and very Jake, but it’s a testament to my favorite part about life: longevity with people through ups, downs, and everything in between. 

In ministry you lean into a lot of people, and not everybody leans back in. But days like this remind me that you can’t reap without sowing.

A couple of highlights that got my tear ducts going this past weekend: 1) @rally_fox sharing at the rehearsal dinner that he grew up being known as “Jake’s little brother” and that he couldn’t imagine a bigger honor than that title. 2) a letter from Mccrae she wrote early on in their dating relationship for Jake to read on his wedding day. Are you kidding me. 

Over the years Jake’s brothers have become brothers to me, his family feels like my family. I try to it make a mark of my life that I invite a lot of people into mine, and I’ll never get over the honor, joy, and privilege it is when I get invited back into theirs. 

Love you @jakefox @mccraefoxx !
