A couple weeks ago, something changed.
Daylen and I were talking about our future. I let him do most of the talking, but my ears perked in thrill when I heard some specific words issuing from his mouth:
"We", "us", "our snowboarding adventure".
It is no longer Nadine's vision. Over time and growth, it's become our vision. He's fully and possibly subconsciously accepted this as his calling, too. It creates a whole different feeling behind how I think about racing or preparing. This knowledge dispelled worries I didn't even know I had: worry that I was taking over our lives with my passions, worry that Daylen would feel like a "follower" instead of my leader, and worry that I'd feel a little alone.
No longer. God's completed our team. It feels amazing.
