It takes all you have

I just started reading this book and I think it's great. It's divided into three different sections. It really hits hard on my feelings about how things happen. I had been running through life focusing on ME and MY ideas. I was married and had great family but didn't really appreciate any of it. When I got my DUI and realized that I was on the cusp of losing all that really mattered I realized that I had to give up all of my control and focus on God. You can't make any real substantial change in your life without devoting every effort to it. And you certainly can't make any meaningful change in your life without having God at the focal point. We're still working through the DUI, the chew (tobacco) and the porn but I now have a ton of support and I rely on God to get me through. People who don't know about the DUI and how rocky my marriage was have told me that I have completely changed. It's only been 5 weeks but I couldn't have done any of it on my own. I'm running full steam ahead after a life focused on God. I hope that I can do good enough of a job to be an example to my child that is due in 7 months.
