I'm going to see Mark soon. Its been a tough couple of months for the both of us. Through this time he has remained strong, patient, and faithful, and I haven't. It is an unspoken fact that our situation is harder when he's not playing. Its harder for me because I don't get a tangible reminder of why we are apart when watching his games. Its harder for him because its frustrating to not be playing and its frustrating we aren't there with him when he is down. I don't want to speak too soon, but I think Mark will be taking the field again. Dags and I are making a quick trip to Dallas to be there for him. I don't know the words to describe how excited my heart is. I do know that I have made it this far because of Mark's faith and hopefulness.
"And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him-a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:12
And how perfectly does Dagny's book put it into words:
"But my heart doesn't stay sad. Like springtime after winter, the sun comes out again. My heart grows tall, like a plant reaching toward the sky. This is when my heart is hopeful."
