Life Decisions

Well this post is mainly about the decisions that change our lives. This is either for the good or for the bad but there are those times when a decision changes the direction that our life goes in. I once attended a conference were I heard a talk about choice points in our lives. A choice point is a point in which you either chose the right path or the wrong path. It is that once little minute where you make a decision that could make your life easier or send you down the path that might take you many years to ever come back from. I can see those times in my life where I should have made the right decision but chose to take that path. It has since then taken a long time to come back from and I am still fighting to come back to the crossroads. It seems to that the more mistakes that I have made the more I do not want my kids to even make 1/4th of the mistakes that I have made and I will go to many lengths to prevent that from happening. I would love to save them a lot of the heartache that I have experienced. I really try and talk to them about making the right decisions. I know I sure could use a daily reminder of how to actually make a right decision. I do move daily toward actually making and continuing to make to good decisions that help me stay on the correct path. I do have to say too that God helps me and reminds me daily that I need to stay on this straight path. So to all of you who think that you will never be able to make good decisions, take if from someone who knows, you can start to make good decisions. Just realize that when you get to that choice point, listen to your conscience. Do the right thing!
