Small Steps lead to Big Change

Do you ever think about your life and wonder how you arrived where you are at the present moment. I have often looked back and seen the multiple forks in the road, the choices I could have made and didn’t, and choices I did make and the consequences and rewards are oh so clear. Clear now that is, isn’t hindsight always 20/20?

You see God has known us all along, sounds funny but even before we knew who we were. He set out a plan for our lives.

Today, I would like you to contemplate you life, and the decisions that have brought you here. What you decided to choose and why? How did it work out for you? What would you change if you could?

All of the small decisions we make everyday, all the little choices, add up to footsteps on the path of life, your life, my life. Most of us can look back and see how a lot of little decisions led to big ones.
What are your goals for your life? What kind of person do you want to be? Are the decisions today going to be regrets or the accomplishments of tomorrow?

The Bible is here for us to learn from, a guide, of how to make good decisions and how to live our lives in a way that is acceptable to our Lord. I hope this list helps YOU to make a million little good decisions that bring fulfillment, contentment, and happiness.
