"Brick walls are there for a reason. They give us a chance to show how badly we want something." - The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
A very dear friend and her husband had many challenges and they parted many times. She felt like their marriage was up against a brick wall and she was tired of banging her head against it. Her friends kept trying to encourage her but it didn't seem to be working. She kicked him out, again.
This time her friends added tearful, from the heart prayers - a step up from the ones they had been offering which were sincere ones, too, don't get me wrong.
Then one day, one of them called another and then she called another until they all heard the joyous news. Their friend was asking her husband to come back, and he did, and they are trying again - only this time they've breached that brick wall. They want it bad enough to tear it down brick by brick - they want their family to be whole.
What is your brick wall and are you going to walk away from it or are you going to tear it down?
About Me
- Diane
- I love my life. I'm contented enough to be relaxed and discontented enough to quest. I want to see it all, smell it all and touch it all and through writing I can. I'm especially grateful for the gospel in my life. I don't need to search anymore. I can get on with perfecting talents and abilities.
