Bonner's Journal- Day 43. A decision of increase

Sun 26. Day 43. 34 days in rehab. 10th day of the fast.

After 34 days of living in the rehab center...and 10 days of fasting and prayer...
Hannah and I discussed an important understanding about our current and future state. 

We have made a decision to not accept one moment of decrease in what God has planned for our lives. Do we have to make an adjustment to a new outlook? Yes. 

Are we losing ground in our talents and gifts? Never!

We discussed that TODAY we are more prepared to help people in our area of profession than we ever have been, not tomorrow... Or a 
Month from now... Or a year from now. We refuse to lose, in any way.
We decide to increase in every aspect of our lives... Our faith, our emotions, our bodies, our relationships, our marriage, our finances, our profession, our children, our church body, our standing in the community we serve.
Scripture says that the gifts of God, and the call He has on our lives, He will not take back. 
So we are just as equipped to be loving leaders as we have ever been. I am more ready to be a head coach TODAY, right NOW, than I was before the enemy tried to kill my wife and steal from my family and I.
My wife is more able THIS DAY to serve in her profession, giving people joy and memorable experiences, than she was before her battle against paralysis.
We are determined to not back off. 
Our statement:
We are going to love more. We are going to give more. We are going to pray more. We are going to fast more. We are going to praise more. We are going to help more. We are going smile more. We are going to cry more. We are going to share the anchor of hope we have more. We are going to trust fellow Christians more. We are going to trust God more.
