I read this quote earlier this week and it has stuck with me. My destiny is the product of wise choices; not just the choices I make after college that will determine my career but the daily choices that will affect others and my eternity. The choice to talk to the guy in the ice cream shop or leave with no impact, the choice to have a Christ-like attitude or let my situations determine my mood. Everyday we are given opportunities for impact and by making wise choices in my own life I can capitalize on these opportunities.

If a house were on fire with many people inside would you stand outside and watch it go down in flames? I think the obvious answer for everyone is NO! Then why are we so willing to stand by and watch as millions are condemned to eternity in hell? We should want to set the world on fire until they see Christ’s light burning. We need to start with the “little” daily decisions if we want to end up at our heavenly destiny surrounded by those Christ chose to reach through us.

Update: With pledges accounted for I am close to having 50% of the funds needed for this trip. God is constantly affirming that He wants me in Africa and that He will provide. In a little more than 2 months I will be on my way and I'm excited about everything God has in store. Continue to pray for the people we are going to meet and that everything will fall into place, including the rest of the funds. Thank you for your support through prayer and giving. God is going to change lives as a result of your support!
