This week and next I'm attending a class at ACU that will certify me to do pre-marital counseling using the tool "Prepare and Enrich." I'm excited to learn this tool and counseling techniques to help those that are thinking of marriage (prepare) and those that have been married (enrich). As I have completed the first week I'm really conscious of my own marriage and see that although Leah and I have a wonderfully healthy marriage we can always use reminders.
Sometimes our journey with God is the same. Sometimes as we travel this Christian life we are totally trying to prepare ourselves for the journey that lies ahead. What possible obstacles could occur? How will we react when things are great? How will we react when things are challenging? Sometimes as we continue on in the journey we are in need of reminders or enriching our present walk with Christ. How has my routine jaded my vision? How can I move past complacency to more of Jesus? How can I thrive rather than survive?
The journey with Jesus is much like a marriage. Things are great at times and troubling at times. Sometimes you want to leave. Sometimes the love seems vacant. And yet, the covenant to our spouse and the covenant to our Lord keeps us on the path and moving along. Neither are always roses, but in the end we will have sustained an unmatchable relationship!
