When it comes to committment, I am totally like your typical (stereotypical that is) guy. It scares me to death! The fact that I am saying I will give everything I have to that particular something is huge, and it involves so much sacrifice. And to be honest, I’m not scared of giving my all. I’m scared that I’ll give my all and still fail. So to avoid that, I usually just avoid committment altogether. This is something that God has definitely been showing me I need to work on. When our faith is all about committment, it’s probably something I need to get over my fear of! I think this fear is where a lot of me running away from God stems from. Like I said, I give my all, and still mess up. But the great thing about God is he is so forgiving, and loves us so much, that no matter how many times we mess up, he’s there to help us learn from it and get past it. I am so grateful that God gives us his grace.

This past week I finally made the committment to put my all in The Patio. I am so excited to be involved in something that can (and I believe will) make such a huge difference in a community like Reedy Fork. I am striving to give it my all without the fear of failure. Knowing how passionate everyone is about this vision helps me to get over that fear. God is so faithful and I am glad that he is showing me there is nothing to fear when it comes to trusting him.
