You know those times when you could just use a little encouragement? When you need to know that there’s a greater force at hand and He cares about us humans?

Look no further, because this couple is IT.

Sadie & Josh have had a past so intricate it’s almost impossible to explain. From them meeting each other, discovering they’d heard of each other before from friends *almost* dating one of them, becoming friends, then having this emotionally charged back-and-forth for several months…Sadie & Josh have seen some things.

When Sadie was considering cutting things off with Josh (we all want to break up at some point….right?), she was talking with her mentor about the situation. Like any good mentor, Jan listened and offered wisdom (which for Jan Rinehart, her wisdom is not her own). Jan told Sadie she could cut things off with Josh, but she had better leave space for him in her life for when he comes back.

After further praying about it, Sadie and Josh stuck it out and we are so glad they did! It gave us the chance to hang out with them on a fall afternoon, where Josh was “dressed up” until we asked him to roll up his pants and go barefoot (a natural state for him).

We loved seeing them interact, softly smile at each other and tease each other as they traipsed through the water at Rocky River Reservation for their engagement session.

We’re so looking forward to celebrating their wedding with them in the spring!
