Preparing for Life
Addict's Messy Marriage
It took me a long time in life to recognize when to fight my battles, and it is not in the moment but long before that in the preparation. I would much rather fight battles around spiritual, physical and emotional disciplines than fight battles in the moment by trying to say the right thing, not respond selfishly, and not throw in the towel and relapse. Walk with me as I explore the progress I have made and still need to make in preparing for life.
