Trust: It is clear to us both in looking back that that God had His hand on us and that His grace went before us because we ended up succeeding and our marriage is all-the-more strengthened because of it. It was at the time of challenge that we were tempted to discard that “force” inside of us and settle for the mediocre, but that doesn’t seem to be an option for us, the everyday American lifestyle is horribly uncomfortable for us to maintain and therefore we persevere and continue to pursue our passions. We don’t say this to look down our noses at others, and we are sorry if you feel that is what we are doing, but “entertainment” and common leisure activities that plague this society are like wearing concrete shoes and trying to run a marathon for us. Again it is not with pride but with humility that we believe that we are called to accomplish some amazing goals and to experience some incredible things and we don’t want to sacrifice that for anything less.
During our time of challenge and growth our trust in the call on our life was made even more clear. It seems to me that when we are overwhelmed with the monotonous tasks of everyday life, our passions are not stifled but instead the flame of our passions burns even brighter. When times in our life seem difficult and depression attempts to drag us down there is a grace for us to trust. During the times that we cannot see or feel the presence of God is when our trust in his existence is most necessary.
