| 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 |
| 1:10.5 | through our life that the things that we truly committed to, the things that we were all in on, |

| 1:22.1 | made a commitment, but it's been a one foot in and one foot out. Well, I hope it happens. |
| 1:28.2 | It's a wish anyway. That's not the way a commitment has to be approached. We have to decide |
| 1:35.2 | commitment is something that is going to cause us to gain in the long run. See, commitment means |
| 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. |
