Going the Wrong Way On the Way to the Right Way
Nobody is better at speaking truth in love than my wife, Angie. She’s a skilled therapist, but goes easy on me as I try to swim to the depths with her when it comes to the heart.
The other day, she gave me a children’s book called What the Road Said. The picture above is one of the pages. And it’s never been more relevant to me than right now.
The last two years have been filled with all kinds of tough choices for all of us.
For me, I chose to step down from my role as the founding Pastor at Grace Hills Church (a choice my wife and co-founding Pastor) made with me.
Then I chose to get my real estate license.
I chose to shut down a few creative business ideas and experiment with a couple of others.
More recently, I accepted a role with a phenomenal nonprofit, Help One Now. They’re ending extreme poverty in developing nations one family at a time. The problem is, as much as I love the mission, I wasn’t a fit for the role they needed.
So I made the tough choice to step away after only a month of serving.
Choices are hard.
Sometimes we make bad choices. We choose to do selfish, sinful things. Or we make choices that are destructive to ourselves and those we love.
