0:00.0	Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has amazing
0:06.0	things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.
0:17.4	I want to just encourage us today about maybe recommitting to some of our former commitments or
0:25.4	making new commitments, commitments to those things that are very important to your life,
0:31.4	things that are going to cause you to walk in a greater freedom, a greater accomplishment,
0:37.0	greater joy, and greater victory. You see, to walk in these things, you must be committed to these
0:43.0	things. Anything you want to accomplish is going to take a commitment. You know, sometimes people
0:51.0	are afraid of commitment. You know, they don't want to be obligated. They don't want to be
0:56.5	disappointed. Sometimes we like to keep our options open. Maybe there's a plan B later on,
1:04.4	we'd rather choose. But I bet every one of us could look over our life and we could see

1:42.9	obligation, determination, discipline. See, to make a commitment is going to cost you something.
1:51.5	You're going to have to focus on it. You're going to have to have a plan. You're going to have to
1:56.0	be determined. In fact, you have to serve your commitment. You see, you have to serve your
2:05.0	commitment for a time and eventually that commitment will serve you. See, that commitment will benefit
2:14.0	you eventually. And that's the importance of commitment because commitment causes us to accomplish.
2:25.0	And it's not always easy. If commitment was easy, everybody would be accomplishing. Everybody
2:33.6	would be walking in victory. Everybody would have great relationships. Wonderful home life.
