When I was 28 years old, I married a Christian pastor. We prayed together, counseled married couples together, planted a church together, and “waited patiently” together to have sex until we were married. We checked all the boxes.

So imagine my surprise when, four years into our marriage, I found out he’d been “having an affair.”

I put “having an affair” in quotes because this is far too often how

Quotes by Allison Vesterfelt (?)

“Trusting takes a different kind of energy. It takes showing up, despite your moods or personal whims. It is not inventing opportunities out of nowhere, but being obedient to respond to them as they come across your path. It’s waking up, silencing insecurity, and taking steps forward even when you don’t know how it will turn out. It means adjusting expectations at times, when reality doesn’t look like the “dream” from your head. It is moving forward in anticipation, without knowing exactly what lies ahead.”
