one decision...

I wonder how many of my fellow bloggers write in the subject line before writing in the actual blog itself???

For me it can go either way. There are times where I am sitting here listening to music and hear God speak through the music then I just start to write... and what you get as an end result can be bad grammar, spelling and random ramblings kinda like this one. :)

Other times, I know exactly what I am going to say even before I start typing and the subject line then becomes in essence the entire basis for the blog.

Well since this is the "random ramblings" type I am not quite sure where this is all going...

thinking....

Listening...

ok, time to start typing...

Have you ever had a desire for something great???

I think everyone has some desire for something great. Some have more desire than others. I think for me I have a desire to be a great pastor one day but I know that if I don't take Risks than I will never know what I will amount to. It all comes down to one decision really. To risk it all...

Let me tell you a story.

When I was a senior in high school, I went to a school dance with Crystal (who later became my wife)... it was homecoming. At that time we were not dating... but I knew that I loved her from a previous time that we had dated earlier in high school. I dreamed of some day marrying her and settling down with her (I know kinda weird for a senior boy in high school). I knew that if I didn't at some point step up to the plate and tell her how I felt about her, or my case show it, that I could maybe lose her to some other guy. Well something inside gave me enough courage to go for it... and I did! I kissed her, it never felt so good, or so right. From that point forward I think we kinda both knew that we were made for each other. Maybe not, but it was a great start to an amazing relationship that believe me, has had some trying times and trials... but none the less, we have made it through and I don't think anything could come between us now.

But what I am getting at here is that some people have choices in there life both big and small. If I hadn't continued that dream and at some point ended up elsewhere, would I still be sitting in this chair. If I had not kissed Crystal that night at Homecoming senior year, would we have still got married?

One decision could have and probably would have changed many things. I risked and it paid off.... I got the love of my life and now I get to spend my entire life with her.

Think about the daily decisions you make, what will the result be.

I love life and it can be so exciting, yes trying at times but in the end it can be so fulfilling if we just make good decisions. I guess that is the point of this blog- to risk, to think, to make good decisions.

What will your story be?
