FTJ: Colleen’s Journey 1: Sleep Walking

Someone recently said that most people sleepwalk through life – allowing events to shape their world, unaware of their own capacity and potential. These sleepwalkers are content but a bit clueless. That certainly describes us until rather recently.

This journey really began way back in 2017 when Darrell finally closed our chapter on full-time ministry work. It was further reshaped in 2018 when I decided I was willing to do whatever it took to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Darrell found a new job – with several promotions and title changes along the way. I started working an extra job (or two). I lost a significant amount of weight. I began working out daily. We both began working with a therapist individually. We began to change.

I make that point because this was not an overnight sensation. We did not move from overweight couch potatoes with limited beliefs to our current thriving lives without some significant effort and investment.
