· MARRIAGE EXPECTATION VIDEO
HOW MANY OF YOU WERE LIKE THOSE COUPLES?
MARRIAGE IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!
COMMON THEME-WE EXPECTED HAPPILY EVER AFTER
WE ABSOLUTELY DID NOT NEED THE MARRIAGE COUNSELING THE PASTOR OFFERED
NO WAY WE DIDN’T NEED THAT AT ALL........WE WERE IN LOVE!
WHY HAPPILY EVER AFTER?:
WHEN WE SAID “I DO”
WE EXPECTED HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE MOMENT WE KISSED TO SEAL THE DEAL
HEA IS ALL WE HAD IN MIND-AMAZING, PERFECT-THE COUPLES ALL SAID THIS
WE DIDN’T EXPECT TROUBLE TO HAPPEN
WE ANTICIPATED THE GARDEN OF EDEN…& THEN THE SERPENT CAME
DESTINATION VS JOURNEY MINDSET WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM
WHETHER WE USED THE PHRASE OR NOT
GARY THOMAS COINED THE PHRASE
“WHAT IF GOD DIDN’T INTEND FOR MARRIAGE TO MAKE US HAPPY BUT TO MAKE US HOLY”?
(BOOK SACRED MARRIAGE-GOOD READ)
HOLY EVER AFTER-NOT ON ANY SIGNS
THE SIGN THAT HANGS ABOVE OUR WEDDING PIC SAYS AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER, IT SHOULD SAY AND THEY LIVED HOLY EVER AFTER
NOTHING BRINGS OUT EVERY CHARACTER FLAW, AND INSECURITY IN ME QUITE LIKE MARRIAGE DOES........
JOHN 16:33 ““I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart!
I have overcome the world.””
LAST SESSION
WE TALKED ABOUT THE NECESSITY OF FORGIVENESS-FORGETTING THE FORMER THINGS.
THE MAJORITY OF SESSION 2 WAS SELF-INFLICTED OR A WOUND FROM SOMEONE ELE.
THIS SESSION BRINGS US FACE TO FACE WITH THE FACT THAT
“IN THIS WORLD WE WILL FACE TROUBLE”.
AND MARRIAGE IS NO EXCEPTION
MOST OF THAT TROUBLE IS SIMPLY OUT OF YOUR CONTROL.
WE ARE GETTING READY TO WATCH THE NEXT ROUND OF TESTIMONIES
LISTEN AND LEAN IN
MANY WILL BE ABLE TO TOTALLY RELATE-YOU MAY EVEN FEEL LIKE THEY ARE TELLING YOUR STORY
DON’T LET IT FEEL HEAVY, LISTEN FOR HOPE
PAY ATTENTION TO “BUT TAKE HEART, I HAVE OVERCAME THE WORLD”.
WHAT GOD DID FOR THEM HE WANTS AND WILL DO FOR YOU.
SESSION 3 MAIN TESTIMONY VIDEO
WOW-WE JUST WATCHED THESE COUPLES GO THROUGH SOME REALLY TOUGH SEASONS & WE SAW HOW GOD BROUGHT THEM THROUGH IT….
OUR MARRIAGE STORY
HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS,
MARRIED 2 YEARS AFTER HS-2 YEARS LATER THAN I WANTED!
STARTED A BUSINESS &
HAD OUR FIRST CHILD BEFORE 2 YEARS OF MARRIAGE.
WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING & FUN HONEYMOON TRIP TO NIAGRA FALLS.
I REMEMBER PLANNING ALL THE DETAILS OF THE WEDDING & HONEYMOON, BC I WANTED THEM TO BE PERFECT.
I CALLED TRIPLE A AND THEY MAILED US A MAP THAT GAVE US THE STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS TO & FROM OUR HONEYMOON DESTINATION.
WITHOUT THIS MAP WE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST, WE DIDN’T HAVE SMARTPHONES, WE HAD TO RELY ON THAT MAP.
NOT TOO FAR INTO OUR VOYAGE WE GOT OFF THE MAP W/O REALIZING IT & WHEN WE MADE THE DISCOVERY WE WERE OFF THE PATH, WE HAD TO FIND OUR WAY BACK TO THE BEST ROUTE.
IT COST US A COUPLE HOURS, BUT THANKFULLY WE HAD THE MAP THAT GOT US BACK ON TRACK.
THIS MAP WAS OUR TRUE NORTH-AN ESTABLISHED POINT OF DIRECTION-IT KEPT US ON TRACK
WHAT IS A TRUE NORTH?
True North is - your fixed point in a spinning world
BASICALLY YOUR TRUE NORTH IS
THE ONE POINT IN YOUR LIFE THAT NEVER MOVES, ITS AN ESTABLISHED, STATIONARY POSITION THAT YOU CAN REFERENCE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE ON
ON OUR HONEYMOON OUR TRIPLE A MAP WAS OUR TRUE NORTH-WE WERE PREPARED
BUT WE DIDN’T HAVE A NORTH TRUTH ESTABLISHED FOR WHEN WE RETURNED TO OUR 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT AS A NEWLY MARRIED COUPLE
WE EXPECTED LOVE WAS ALL WE NEEDED
WE LEARNED THAT FOR US TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE....WE HAVE TO HAVE GOD AS OUR TRUE NORTH
RELYING ON HIS WORD TO DIRECT OUR PATHS
VERY SHORTLY AFTER WE WERE MARRIED COLT & I REALLY STARTED SEEKING GOD
W/O KNOWING THE TERM WE SET HIM AS TRUE NORTH IN OUR LIVES & MARRIAGE
WE STUDIED THE WORD
WE TALKED ABOUT GOD OFTEN
OUR DESIRE WAS TO SEEK HIM FOR EVERYTHING
A YEAR INTO OUR MARRIAGE COLT WANTED TO START HIS OWN BUSINESS
WE PRAYED & BELIEVED THAT GOD WOULD MAKE A WAY
& HE DID! W/IN A MONTH COLT QUIT HIS JOB & STARTED THE BUSINESS HE HAD DREAMED OF
WHEN OUR BUSINESS STARTED IN 2005
GOD WAS WITH US
GUIDED OUR STEPS AND DECISIONS
CONNECTED US WITH PEOPLE
PRAYED FOR WISDOM, FAVOR AND TO BE A CHEERFUL GIVER
THE BUSINESS GREW QUICKLY & WE ADDED EMPLOYEES
WITH THE GROWTH, COLT FELT PRESSURE TO WIN JOBS TO SUPPORT NOT ONLY US, BUT THE FAMILIES OF THE MEN WHO WORKED FOR US
COLT DESCRIBES THAT A DARK CLOUD BEGAN TO COVER HIM
& HE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE FEAR, ANXIEY & WORRY
& AROUND YEAR 5 OF THE BUSINESS, COLT HAD A PANIC ATTACK, WHICH WOULD BE THE 1ST OF 4
LOOKING BACK IT IS CLEAR WHAT HAPPENED-
COLT WENT FROM SEEKING GOD W/ ALL HIS BEING TO
ALLOWING THE BLESSING GOD HAD GIVEN TO CONTROL HIS LIFE MY FOCUS HAD SHIFTED
I FOCUSED SO MUCH ON THE BUSINESS THAT IT CONSUMED MY LIFE.
THIS WAS A TOUGH SEASON-WE HAD 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AT THE TIME & DURING THE PANIC ATTACKS IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO CARE FOR THEM & COLT WHO NEEDED ME CONSTANTLY
I STRUGGLED KNOWING WHAT TO DO
IF I SHOULD SEEK HELP
CONTINUE ON PRAYING WE WOULD WAKE UP & THE NIGHTMARE BE OVER
OR CHECK HIM INTO A STRESS CENTER
THE LOWEST POINT
I REMEMBER IN THE MIDDLE OF A REALLY ROUGH TIME COLT SAID HE WAS GOING ON A WALK
& FOR THE 1ST TIME I FELT SCARED HE COULD HURT HIMSELF
I REMEMBER ASKING HIM IF HE COULD GO ALONE & COME BACK-HE ASSURED ME HE COULD
COLT TALKS ABOUT THIS BEING A TURNING POINT BACK TO GOD
ON THAT WALK IN THE MIDDLE OF A DUG OUT POND, HE FELT NO WAY OUT OF THE MISERY HE FELT
BUT HE ALSO FELT GOD AND KNEW
THE TRUTH THAT GOD WAS FOR ME
& MY FAMILY NEEDED ME
HE BEGAN TO RE ENGAGE IN A JOURNEY BACK TO GOD-B/C GOD HAD NEVER LEFT HIM.
SOME OF YOU MAY BE OFF TRACK RIGHT NOW
NO CHOICE OF YOUR OWN
YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CHOSE
