Any time I decide to commit to something, I am all in! I don't just dip my toe in the water. I dive in!
Once when I was in counseling, my therapist said "I have never had someone work this program as quickly as you". I dove in.
Whenever I commit to a relationship, I am all in. For example, I have a broken relationship that I am dealing with currently. Because of a decision I made, this person has turned away from me and only communicates with me when necessary. I have reached out on multiple occasions to no avail. It is polite but no effort is made on their part to reciprocate. This individual has lied to me, has left me out of important events, has been within minutes of my home too many times to count without even giving me a call. In all of this, I have continued to love them, have continued to want a relationship with them, to look forward not back. All in.
Anytime I have a passion about something, I am "All In". My ministries that I am involved with at church. My love of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and my desire to tell others about Him. With my husband, my children, my grandchildren I am "All In".
Though I have health issues that are sometimes an obstacle to doing all I would like to do, I do my best to be there for others in whatever way I can.
A lot of people don't get me. They don't get my passion. They don't get my sensitivity. They don't understand my honesty. They don't accept that I am ill, not a wimp or lazy. I AM NOT A WIMP! Before my illnesses kicked in, I could and would outdo anyone. Since my illnesses, I have had to let my old self go and accept my new reality of having to pace myself and admit that there are some things I can't do.
Fortunately, I do have one friend that totally gets me and accepts me for who I am. She and I have been friends since our senior year in high school. Being with her is so easy because I can just be myself without having to live up to any expectations. She is a blessing to me.
I have been created to be All In. If there is something or someone that you are passionate about, don't be afraid to dive in! To be All In.
