This is the first part of a three-part series. In this part 1 we’ll tackle one major step to take when something in our life hasn’t turned out the way we wanted it to. In Part 2 we will explore two more steps that build on this one. And in Part 3, we’ll see how it all applies to life and relationships.

Her voice faded away as she headed down the aisle. And I was left pondering what we do when something about our lives is not the way we want it. Let’s take a look.
