The Amazing Story of Ian and Larissa

What an amazing inspiration. God bless Ian and Larissa.

This video, inspires me, my wife and I moved our' wedding date to a much earlier time, the primary reason being her mom, who was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer, would get to see at least 1 of her daughters " walk down the aisle ". (I prayed to God she would, & also that she would come to KNOW Christ, before her passing) Gods' Grace is Truly Amazing. She did attend our' wedding, more importantly, she went from saying "I hope to go to Heaven," to telling me one day, "Jim, I know HE died, for me, and nobody is 'good' enough, to get there on their own!" So God answered both prayers, and this video really hit close to home with me. I have no brain trauma or injuries, but I do have a metal valve in my heart that keeps me alive, and a wife who LOVES me, in spite of numerous ways my health effects our' relationship! Before I could marry my wife, I talked to God about many things? God saw to it, that I had a dad here, who taught me that 'Love', is about a whole lot more than 'feelings, being compatible, and becoming a deacon, while encouraging the kids to give us some grand-children.' It's about a commitment, and being willing to sacrifice ALL, just like Jesus did. I visited my dads' grave the night before we were married. Nothing magical happened, but questions and quotes that I'd heard my whole life began to come flying into my head? What ifs....... maybe she still has doubts, or maybe she just thinks marriage is a legal contract,....what abouts...... Then came a thing that I'd heard 1 time, as a teen-ager, at the Thursday night teen study we had in my house that started around my sophomore year..... (God Forbid), but if you had to for whatever reason, push her around in a wheel-chair, for the 'til death do we part' time came, do you LOVE her, 'That Much'? This video, the wife in it mentioning Pittsburgh,(My wife & I are both born & raised 'Pittsburghers'), took me back to that night at the foot of my late fathers' grave, and seeing love in motion, (kind a the way I envisioned the whole "wheel-chair" scenario), blew me away! Sorry for the long-winded comment, but obviously, In Christ, by Gods' Grace, I realized that this 'LOVE', has no conditions or 'Out' clauses in it, and I stand in Grace, knowing that HE will finish every good work He has started, until the day of Jesus Christ.(Phil. 1:6) I agree, and say AMEN, to a comment below, Pastor Scott Wiens - If anyone wants to know what Love looks like, just watch this video!

All we need is LOVE. And this is about LOVE. TRUE LOVE. Thanks Jesus to be in the center of our Lives. ♥

Just an awesome testimony. Jesus is awesome and you two are also...I see the Christ in both of you. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

"Marriage is mainly about displaying the covenant keeping love between Christ and His church...it may have many bright days, or may be covered with clouds. But if we set our face to make of marriage mainly what God designed it to be, no sorrows and no calamities can stand in our way...this love shines brightest when nothing but Christ can sustain it." This video stirs the deepest emotions of my soul so much! Larissa and Ian are a needed and awesome exhibition of God's TRUE love for his children. God never leaves are side no matter where we are in life, what happens to us, or how much calamity we may face! Praise God! And thank you Larissa and Ian for poignantly and powerfully showing the world an example of God's unconditional love! May God shower his blessings upon you both!

I am totally bawling. What a great couple.

Love is an action VERB....HE is the Verb in us!

Their story is an inspiration for ALL of us......when the small pressure is apply to our marriage we want to walk away.....but even before marriage, she stood by his side.....what an example of CHRIST LOVE FOR US, BECAUSE WE KNOW LIKE LARISSA WE KNOW THAT GOD WILL STAND WITH US AND FOR US NO MATTER WHAT.

PRAISE GOD! Larissa you and Ian show more love than couples who don't have challenges. The lanterns lit and rising were beyond beautiful. Your both are in my prayers. GOD blessed me with your story and he will continue to bless you.
