Think back in your memory. I want you to remember a time in your life where everything changed. Something happened. It may have been good or it may have been painful but it was the catalyst that pushed you forward toward a decision that fundamentally changed you. I can think of several. I call these defining moments. Moments that altered the way I think and see myself. These defining moments still shape the decisions that I make. They are moments when I discovered important things about myself and they are also times when I made concrete decisions about how I would think, say & do from now on. Defining moments shape us.
Often, at least for me, my defining moments put me on a path to a whole different set of choices and decisions, some of which were in themselves defining. For example, October 1985 I committed my life to Christ. I made Him my Lord and it immediately began to effect my choices and actions. It later played a huge role in who I chose to date and later marry. I would have never went to Bible school had I not made that decision back in 1985.
What defining moments have you had that have shaped you? I encourage you to join the conversation & leave a comment.
