DECISION

Have you ever had an idea that, once you committed to it, there was no going back?

Strapping on the parachute at 15,000 feet and leaning forward out of the plane ... no turning back.

Getting on the giant rollercoaster you're deathly afraid of ... once you're locked in, no turning back.

Deciding it's time to get pregnant - and now you are ... no turning back.

Making the marriage vows ... no turning back.

Whatever your fight is right now, you have to make a decision in your mind to do something about it. Because making a decision not to fight is making a decision to lose.

If you refuse to face the thing you need to fight for -- the issue in your marriage -- your moving from one bad relationship to another -- the problem you have with authority -- that addiction -- if you refuse to face it, you've chosen to lose.

You have to make a decision.

That might mean re-opening a wound you've tried very hard to keep closed.
   ... the fact that you were unfaithful,
   ... the fact that you made a poor decision,
   ... the fact that you made promises and then broke them,
   ... the fact that you said something you should never have said.
Time to face it.

You have to make a decision.

But if you decide not to - if you decide not to fight for it - then you've passively made a decision to lose.

This might be the most difficult step in the entire process - just deciding to fight for what matters.  But it will be the most courageous decision you've ever made to move you and your family forward.

And be blessed.
