I married the best girl in the world! She is beautiful, intelligent, compassionate, loving, and full of faith. I'm not gonna lie, the conversations about moving to LA, renting out our house, stepping down from being on staff at the best church in OC, transitioning from our Chino Hills (suburban mecca) 4 bedroom home to renting an apartment in the city was not exciting. It took awhile for us to wrap our minds around what that means and what that changes. But it didn't take long to realize that this desire and dream that God has placed in us cannot be ignored and if we chose to stay where we are now it would become our prison.
That's just one of the many reasons why I love Shelley, she loves God way more than she does stuff. She would much rather follow God wherever He leads us than choose an illusion of safety, security, and empty attachments. When something ignites Shelley's passions and drive, you better watch out! Good things will happen.
