Once Upon A Time...

 ...there was a boy and a girl.  The boy lived in Arizona, loved Jesus, and participated in lots of church activities like mission trips.  The girl lived in Texas, loved Jesus, and ALSO participated in lots of church activities like mission trips.  Both the boy and girl ended up at the most awesome school in the universe, Texas Christian University, where they continued to participate in missions trips with their churches.  One day that boy and girl met at a costume party and started hanging out.  On their second date, the girl told the boy that she would "live in a cardboard box if that is what the Lord called [her] to do."  The boy thought this sounded different than most girls he knew.  The boy and girl continued dating and eventually got married.

In 2007, the boy and the girl took a mission trip together with their church, Covenant Community Church, to Uganda.  They discussed the possibility of moving to Uganda to serve AIDS orphans.  Once back in the States, life and fears overwhelmed them and the dream fizzled out.  Knowing that the Lord calls everyone to participate in missions, the boy resigned to support missionaries through giving, praying, and visiting them on short-term trips.  Still feeling called to the field, the girl was not satisfied with this answer but wanted the boy to feel called by the Lord, not called by his wife.  The girl resorted to praying and asked her Bible study to pray along side of her.

In 2011, their church announced a short-term trip to Honduras. The boy and girl had two close friends whom they loved and supported serving as full-time missionaries in Honduras.  The boy thought this was the perfect opportunity to witness the work of their friends.  However, this would leave the girl home to care for their energetic toddler while very pregnant.  Much to the boy's surprise, the girl agreed to let the boy go on the trip.  While sitting in the airport on the way to Honduras, the boy felt a stirring and began to ask the Lord if he was being called to Honduras!  Can you guess how this story ends?  Or is it just beginning?
