Decisions

This morning as I was getting ready for work, I was thinking about some decisions I have made along the way. And well trying to figure out where I went wrong with some of them. Dont get me wrong I am very blessed and love my life, however, I think about where I couldve been if I made a different decision....

My junior year, I was elected to go to St. Louis, MO to intern with a drama ministry called (at the time) "Insync Drama Ministry". This was an outstanding ministry in which they took young adults (out of high school) and teach them the art of drama and put the through Christian school. I had my application and my references from my pastors and elders sent in an excepted. Now, I was scared and overcome by fear, I decided not to go.

This morning as I pondered over that decision, I wondered where God couldve taken me if I had let him take over that fear. I wont know that because I gave into my own fear. I dont regret this decision anymore because is using me now and using my life as a testimony of how he can change you.

My thoughts are this. Life is scary, but sometimes giving God the fears (or Giants as Keith preached Sunday) is less scary than you imagine it is. I'm thinking of my sister here. Her and her friends will graduate this year and my prayers go out to them. Its a dark and foggy road up head to find what it is that God wants them to do with their lives. However, they have to keep one main focus and that is on the Lord. He can light that dark and foggy road so you can see where you are going.

Please pray for students of all ages that they make decisions wisely. Based on God!

Four Years Old... Wow time flies!

Today McKinley has turned 4. It is so hard to believe that she is 4 yrs old. It was just like yesterday that I held her as a newborn. Now I can barely pick her up. I'm so very proud of her in her few years of being alive. She is an amazing little girl with such a great spirit and willingness to love God!

We had her party on Saturday. Above are a few pics from the party!

Happy Birthday to You, McKinley! Mommy loves you with all her heart!
