Where Are We Goin’ With This?

I've been struggling in some areas with commitment for quite some time now. Dare I say about a year?! As I think more about commitment, I have to think more about what and why I want to commit to certain things in my life. After connecting with some lovely ladies in my life, I had a bit of an "AH-HA" that helps me think differently about my purpose. Thinking differently about my purpose helps me better understand the areas God wants me to learn, grow, and commit.

Today, I talk about the challenges of commitment. It comes down to so much more than a lack of motivation. I think it's more about a fear of how hard it is when we see a glimpse of our actual potential. When we get a peek of what we're actually capable of, it can be scary to realize the effort we're going to need to put in to become who we know we can be.

As we are on the cusp of celebrating our 23rd anniversary, we wanted share a little of our marriage story with you. We started out young and found out along the way that it takes a whole lot more than blind love to create a marriage that lasts. Through death, addiction, anger, and chaos, God resurrected our marriage from the ashes. He made the impossible possible, and we know their is purpose in our pain and hope in the darkness.

In every circumstance and situation we find ourselves in, there is one thing that holds true for us all.... We have choices and there are consequences to those choices. If we don’t take responsibility for getting ourselves where we are, how can we take responsibility to get ourselves where we want to go?
