@Sherry Poxson we can relate to the long list, we’ve grown to like audibles a lot as we can listen while cleaning, driving and more. My husband and I have aimed at even 10 minutes a day in a given book, or a chapter when possible, and discussion for a short window after, so we aren’t just reading and forgetting, but deliberate in processing and/or applying what we glean. It is exciting to have all the great reads to look forward to!

A vicious cycle
When convenience is king in family (whether it’s emotions, food, discipline of children, etc) health is an afterthought. True health isn’t convenient. It’s not comfortable. There may never be a convenient or comfortable time to start working on it. “I’ll start working on this once we are out of this season” is the mantra of one ruled by convenience. Every season has its excuses. It’s too hot, it’s too cold, it’s too windy, it’s too rainy, it’s too humid. All these are similar to: we are moving soon, we just moved, we are in sports, I don’t have the time right now, our finances need to change then we can. Embracing inconvenience and discomfort is what breaks the cycle and makes health the priority it deserves to be. After all, health makes every season not only more bearable, but gives us the ability to thrive through every one of them. And in reality, the families I’ve seen get the most breakthrough were the ones who started the work at the most inconvenient times.

Ego and Pride
Keep us from experiencing true freedom. When we think we have it all together, we don't. Pride comes before a fall... Ego gets in the way of being humble before God... God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

@Kate Lumley I love your heart being poured out here, it is beautifully authentic! It seems you have come to the first step in embracing change, seeing what you desire change in! Perhaps seeing this expressed concern positions you to engage with friends differently, maybe even prayerfully inviting feedback from friends you’ve previously known. From the potential perspective of friends, our family has some in our life that live from a self focused place, who we’ve tried to grow with and it has not been so good… yet if these relationships reached out with a revelation like you share here, oh my goodness I’d be in thankful tears. The Lord will meet you where you are at and guide you, as you press into him for a lead asking for revelation and wisdom. From the perspective of encountering opportunities to grow, your sharing reminds me of times I’ve encountered with realizations of opportunities to grow too. It’s so humbling and exciting, realizing and embracing what God has ahead, journeying in being transformed for better! The enemy wants to shame you, God wants to bless you, and I say this to help keep perspective as the journey continues to unfold. Praying for you and all that is in store!💕

Settling for the familiar hell
Too often marriages settle for what is, living in the familiar, even if it’s hell; instead of choosing the unfamiliar that could bring heaven into their home.
