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.
Very good encouragement. We all need to search our thinking patterns as to whether we are the one who are putting the limits on our visions and life. We need to learn from others and allow them to mentor us so we can grow and accomplish our visions. God wants the best for us but we need to cooperate with Him in acquiring His best.
