The decision to move away from St. Ann's to St. Vincent's became drawn out, involving multiple factors. For me, this whole process continued an ongoing lesson in being a husband. I’ve learned that it's best to pray for patience and spend a lot of time with the Lord before making big decisions. It seems common sense to me now, but before my conversion of heart it wasn’t so. When I "called the ball," I ended up rushing, I didn't call on God, and I made plenty of mistakes. The impetus for the decisions usually stemmed from pleasing another. I've since learned how crucial it is to make decisions that please the Lord and glorify Him. When He is truly my goal, I need to look at the information I have, pray, reflect, and then "drop the hammer" and not dawdle. Once done, if I truly strove to place God first, I need to stop doubting the decision and thank the Lord for guiding me. As I’ve practiced this process, I have grown more confident. My wife has been generous with her patience in allowing me to grow in this new role of being a husband. For many reasons, including this one, I know I am blessed to have received her.
