Decisions.

It is very likely that you are facing some very important ones…right now.

What college will I attend?
What major will I choose?
Where will I work?
Should I continue to be in this relationship?
Should I continue to stay at this job?
Should I commit to pursuing the dream that I desire to see come to pass?

These decisions are not easy ones to make.

But here’s a question you can ask yourself prior to making some of the bigger choices you will have to make in your lifetime:

What story do I want to tell?

In other words…

If you want to tell the story of how you took a risk…take one.
If you want to tell the story of how you played it safe…don’t.

If you want to tell the story of how you did what you wanted to do…follow your heart.
If you want to tell the story of how you did what your parents wanted you to do…follow your folks.

If you want to tell the story of how you were obedient to God…obey.
If you want to tell the story of how you were disobedient to God…disobey.

If you want to tell the story of how you overcame your obstacles…continue to fight.
If you want to tell the story of how you were defeated by your obstacles…quit.

I don’t know about you, but…

I want to tell a story about faith.
I want to tell a story about miracles.
I want to tell a story about obedience.
I want to tell a story about commitment.

I want to tell a story about my purposes being fulfilled.

This is my encouragement to you…

Make sure that the choices you are making line up with the story you want to tell.

Because one day…you’re gonna’ tell it.
