Step-by-Step

Neither success nor failure happens all at once. It's in the decisions and choices, the moments of activity or inactivity, the paths taken or not, that life's progress is made. At the moment, I'm in a place where I have a blank slate, an opportunity to shape and guide the future to an extent, by the choice I make and the energy I expend. Pray for me that I would choose wisely, work hard, and have the good sense to not leave all the decision-making to my own understanding.

God has said that if I will just choose to let Him direct my paths, rather than racing ahead into life in a self-reliant frenzy, the end result will be better. In fact, the end result will be PERFECT, because it is He, not I, who holds the roadmap for this life I'm trying to live. If He has ordained the things that we believe and trust in for the near future, then surely He will bring them to pass.

In the meantime, my heart beats with a passion for sharing the love of Christ with those who are stangers to grace.

As I've said before, let me know you visited by clicking the "comment" link, and I'll be sure to pray for you. If you would do the same for Kristi and me, we would be most grateful!

In His Great Love,
--Steve
