Have you ever made a promise to God that you completely forgot about until years later? That's exactly what happened to me, and the realization stopped me in my tracks. When I was around 15 years old, I made what I now recognize as a naive but life-altering covenant with God. Standing at the crossroads of adolescence, I essentially bargained with the Almighty, then I went about my life, completely forgetting this solemn vow for over a decade.

Fast forward to a recent conversation with my sister when this long-forgotten promise suddenly resurfaced in my memory. The revelation hit me like a lightning bolt—despite years of questionable decisions that should have landed me in serious trouble, I had emerged relatively unscathed. No jail time, no unwanted pregnancies, no major health issues. Now, as a recently ordained minister with a beautiful wife and our first child on the way, I realized I was living inside the fulfillment of that teenage covenant.
