The first time I heard this word “gumption,” it intrigued me. I didn’t quite understand what it meant, but I really liked it and I wanted to exemplify it. I wanted to live it and I wanted to be it.
Kate Winslet personified it while playing the role of Iris Simpkins on “The Holiday,” my favorite film of all times.
About 3 years ago, Kenny asked me the most important question of his life and I gave him the most important answer of mine. Six months later, we got married. Although we only dated for six months and were engaged for another six, our relationship carried a lot of fear then. Fear of failure, fear of the future, fear of… you name it! It just so happened that our pastor’s teaching lesson at the time was on fear. God used Pastor Bob Coy to help us get through those months of anxiety and fear of how marriage would be like.
I had the opportunity to sit down and answer a few questions for our Church (Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale) Staff Website, the Intranet. I thought I’d share what’s going on with the awesome ministry I’m part of.
