I walked into Mean Mug to met a friend and saw Grant (I mean how can you miss him)! As my friend and I caught up, Grant waited the 3+ hours until we were all done. He came up, introduced himself, asked if I loved Jesus and only after receiving a YES, asked if he could take me on a date. That first week was the wildest, most exciting and confirming week of our lives. We just knew that the Lord had brought us together, and just like that, here we are! We learned to love, laugh, disagree and sacrifice. We're just getting started, but our time together has taught us this, we can love each other all we want, but it means nothing without the Lord. We've had to learn what loving sacrificially feels like, and reality is it's not always nice, but man is it rewarding! Because it points us back to the cross! To the most extravagant, reckless, unimaginable act of love to have ever been displayed! Christ did it first, and though no sacrifice will ever amount, we are called to live our lives before one another just as sacrificially and surrendered to each other as Christ did to the Lord. Now on to the next chapter...
