Hello, Emma Maytinkens here. This podcast is powered by the Converge Podcast Network.

What's up? What's up? Incredible. Love seeing valued people. I'm so thankful that you're here.

My name is Emma Maytinkens and you have joined me today on the Have You Curved Podcast.

Romans 1017 says that that faith comes by hearing and that is hearing the word of Christ.

And so I pray that today you are just encouraged in the Lord. I pray that your faith grows through the power of His Word.

I pray that you know how grateful I am that you are here and that I'm just so thankful I get to be a part of your life in this special way, even if it's through a podcast.

So friends, faith comes by hearing without further ado. Let's get into the word.

Guys, I'm so giddy. I love today. I love the conversation that we are about to be a part of because one, I am getting to share with y'all the joy of some wedding details as we are in.

The wedding series. I've been waiting for over a year to share with y'all all of the wedding details that we've been planning just because it's been such a joy to celebrate in the process.

And so now that we're finally here, I'm just thankful to reveal all the surprises and sweet details to you.

And today is a very special part of the wedding planning that I've gotten to experience and that is the flowers, but not only the flowers, it is the florist behind the flowers and the Holy Spirit who is leading the florist.

And this woman blesses me richly. This woman is obedient to the Lord and she's just a testament of how good God is.

It's so evident in her life that she has tasted and seen that the Lord is good and she is blessed as she takes refuge in him.

And I'm so so thankful that she gets to share her story with y'all and that y'all get to hear it and I pray are encouraged by it.

Friends, this is Diana Thompson, the one and only friend. Welcome.

Oh, thank you so much, Emma, what introduction. I'm so grateful for all the kind words that you've shared with everyone and I'm so excited and so honored and blessed to be here.

Yay. Oh, we are too. We are too. And I think it's so fun. My wedding planner Amanda Reed, hashtag shout out all the things to Amanda.

Amanda Reed, because it is wonderful. I remember whenever we were in the early stages of wedding planning and she literally we had not even talked florists at all.

I didn't know any florists in the area and she said, Emma, I just had this sense that you and this forest would really connect her story is so powerful and I just really felt like that would be an incredible person to partner you with for the flowers in your wedding.

And even in the engagement when Josh proposed to me the flower arrangement that y'all had put together, I was blown away by how like I hadn't even talked to y'all and it was spot on with everything that I love and everything and and from the moment that I met you, I was just inspired and encouraged.

So share with us a little bit about like why flowers. How did of like the love of flowers come up in your life. Have you always loved flowers.

No, actually, so I actually never felt worthy of flowers up until about three and a half years ago, crazy enough.
