The Call

Liz once asked me why I married Dalton.  Her question was very genuine.  My response?  God called me to marry him.  (She said Mom had answered the same way about Dad.)  So often people say they marry for love.  The problem with this is that human love is fickle.  Do I love Dalton? Of course, but that is not the reason I married him.  God brought the two of us together for a very specific purpose.  We each have our individual calling from God, but we also have a calling that takes the two of us together.  Our calling as a couple was something we prayed about and identified before we got married.  My calling to marry Dalton is something I thank God for and ask for His continued guidance and presence along the way.  There are days when the road is rough and we have to lean on Him to get through.  There are other days that are crazy good and we are praising Him for His mercy.  Is our marriage perfect? No. Are we always happy? Nope. Is it hard sometimes? Yes.  But we are called to love one another, and God's grace makes that possible.  We are imperfect people called together by the Holy One, and nothing can separate us, because we are in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
