CHOICES
We are faced with choices every day. Some might seem insignificant, while others can make an immediate difference. ALL our choices matter. The Bible tells us that "The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps." (Proverbs 16:9) We have the freedom to choose, but the outcome of our choices will be much more positive for ourselves and for others when we let God "direct our steps." |

PRESSURE
t's not always easy to stand up to the pressure and taunting of others. Sometimes it might just feel easier to "fit in." But, the consequences are seldom good. God reminds us to, "be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9) Don't let the words of others convince you to be something you are not. Don't be afraid to walk away if you don't know what to say. And encourage and support the strength of others. |
