Oh, Beau, what a wonderful piece of writing! You wrote about the life my husband and I have led for the past 42 years! It IS the everyday that binds you together. My daughter told me one day when she was younger that her Sunday School teacher had said that “God created you to do amazing things.” I said, “Hmm, spiritually speaking, He will do that. You will have “amazing” growth as He sanctifies you through the years and He does want us to have an abundant life in Him, but you will find that you will be the most “grounded” and content believer as you go about your seemingly mundane daily life, knowing that you are in the center of His Will, becoming more and more like Christ, even through some occasional rough times. Some of those times will not feel “amazing”. Because Jesus told us to expect to suffer for our allegiance to God. So, I believe that through what He has already done on the cross for us, the most “amazing” thing you will find is the unfathomable love and mercy you receive. Spending time with Him every day in prayer and His Word that that He invites us to, is the key to a healthy, growing in your Christian life. THAT is “amazing “.
