Episode Transcript
Ron: Sometimes you have to step through the wilderness with trust and raw determination.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Many of us have a wilderness or two to cross at some point in our life. And like Moses and the Israelites headed for the Promised Land, sometimes it takes a lot longer to get there than we would like.
Stepfamilies have to step through their wilderness, too. They’ll reach a Promised Land when they’ve had time to create a family identity and smooth out the bumps in relationships. And because that journey can take a while, it’s really important to keep trusting God to provide direction, and to stay determined and not look back at Egypt. Yeah, there’s a Promised Land for stepfamilies—and the payoff is well worth the effort to get there. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
