Commitment

I have had so many thoughts that I have wanted to blog lately... but little time to sit and write. My mind and heart have been processing the future and what it may bring. There has been this Starbucks quote on a my cups lately... over and over and over. A few days ago when I read it, it struck me funny and I sobbed like a baby in my car (not super safe). I think there is something in me that is scared about this PhD program. I am realizing that I can NOT do this thing and continue meeting all the needs and expectations that I have been meeting. Not sure what that means, cause I KNOW that God has lead me this far. I think it is just time for me to make a committed decision that I am going to walk this road, no matter how difficult it might get, all the while trusting that God is big enough to meet the needs of those around me, including my own needs.

"The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating — in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life." – Anne Morriss
