Nancy Landrum is a woman who experienced a significant personal revelation while managing a home improvement project during her children's early years. Faced with an unreliable carpenter who repeatedly failed to complete her sewing room cabinets despite numerous promises, Nancy was challenged to reassess her longstanding belief that love equated to being perpetually nice and patient. After enduring nine months of delays and unfulfilled commitments, she discovered that true love sometimes involves setting boundaries and assertively addressing issues. This experience led her to redefine her understanding of love and assertiveness, blending her Christian values with a more pragmatic approach to relationships and commitments.
