and we will be talking about fulfilling
my husband but a reminder again that
this truly is a book to enrich your
character and your journey with the Lord
whether you are married or single which
one of these challenge do the most work
on I threw all this wrestling could tell
you’re very easily it was the one that I
decided needed to go at the very
beginning of the book it is a resolution
to be content to not hurry through or
circumvent any person any portion of my
journey but to fully resolve to submit
to the season of life that I am in at
that moment that can be hard for women
in every season of life when we’re
single we want to be married when we’re
married without small children we can’t
wait till we have small children then
when we do have the small children we’re
changing dirty diapers every day we
can’t wait until they graduate and get
out of the get out of the nest so that
we can be on our own again I mean we’re
always waiting for the next thing and in
doing so we never fully engage and enjoy
in the thing we’re currently in so and
God has us in that season difficulties
and all he has us there because there’s
something about his character that will
be best revealed against the backdrop of
that particular season of our life
there’s something about us that will be
built perseverance and faith and
character that we will have that will
serve as the bedrock and foundation for
the future if we’ll just fully lean into
it and learn the lessons God wants us to
learn right now we will find that it
makes us and molds us into the women
that can handle what he has for us in
the future
it sounds simplistic but oh it’s if we
turn God and actually do it his way yeah
it works it really does and you’ve
you’ve brought to endorsement with you
today in the person of your fulfilled
husband Jerry come on cameras get ready
I hope it what’s the height on this
wonderful man here oh he’s about 6 3 are
you 6 or basis whoa all right yeah he’s
a good man welcome he was missing you
already just those few yards away and I
got to tell you what’s what’s been such
a blessing for us with this book is that
you know my husband comes from a legacy
honestly of men in his in his family
that did not walk in a way the
you would say would be responsible to
their families or the Lord they really
were not responsible and so he is really
starting with the three sons that the
Lord has miraculously given us you the
new godly generation Terry yeah a new
generation starting a new job where did
you meet this one wild woman well she
actually came to when she was working
for Zig Ziglar she came to give a
motivational speech at an hour for
executive team and she motivated me a
little bit more than others so I must
happen how are you enjoying daddy hood
you’re right in the trenches yeah boy it
is it is it’s good it’s hard as
challenging black person just learning
how to enjoy this season of life because
we do want to rush through it because
there are times where challenging in his
heart but I tell you what I’ve never
laughed so hard or love so much in my
life
hmm made a big decision I’m not sure
what career you left but you felt the
definite call to really manage the
ministry yeah I did it was it was a you
know it was a decision that I felt not
necessary just to manage the the
ministry but to invest in my children
because it came really after our first
son was born I realized that I was gone
before he woke up in the morning and he
was sleep when I came home at night hmm
and I’m like well this is not going to
work even though I grew up without a
father in the house my son was growing
without a father in the house Wow and so
I’m like this is not going to work and
so if I really wanted to have my
fingerprints on my son’s life I needed
to be there and so that really was the
motivating factor I’m sure you were
impressed and moved by the movie because
that very reality is represented dad
who’s there present actually but not
present for the child yes in one of the
scenarios yes it speaks to just about
every issue of fatherhood doesn’t it it
does it does and one of the joys I have
pretty much and you know Priscilla our
nationís but pretty much the joy I had
is
waking up in the morning driving my boys
to school dropping them off and before
they got a car always asking one
question I said who loves you they go
dad we know you love us I’m like all
right I just want to make sure you know
and then I Drive home back home to the
office and and get that but I enjoy that
and of course then at in the evening I
pick them up and we drive back home and
talk about their day how it went and of
course
boom mom has a snack form waiting at the
house and the mom takes over and gets
into the homework and all that so it’s
good we’re very much partners in raising
the boys and I’m so glad because they
are wild
yeah boys are there boys that’s right
well it’s clear you both have a passion
for a revolution resolution revolution
yeah uh how do you see it happening well
my prayer is that women will be
galvanized to want to become who God has
called them to be and that through this
tool the resolution for women book but
also the courageous movie that has done
such a good job of setting the stage for
us all to be inspired my hope is that
women from all different walks of life
and from all places geographically I
mean I love that we’re here in Canada
and in our book club and our revolution
resolution project is what we’ve called
it we’ve got women from Australia and
London and the United States of America
and they’re all connecting we’ve got pen
pals going all over the place where
women are encouraging each other across
the Great Divide of geography and it’s
been great to see women come together
that look different and talk different
act different and yet we’re all kind of
bonded together around resolutions that
are going to change and transform our
lives
oh boy and we are not done with this
next week and the following Priscilla
will be with us the Kendrick brothers
wrote the foreword by the way in this
book with a warning this book will
encourage inspire and even provoke and
irritate you Bob but I loved every
single word and I look forward to
