Decisions - An Impetus of Growth

Well, i told y'all a little while back about my journey back into the educational realm. (click here to read that blog) It has been a great transition and i am so glad that i took that step. I've often spoken with people who have had to make big, tough decisions in their life. Often times these decisions are difficult because they will end up affecting more than just themselves and because every piece of the puzzle isn't showing yet. They're left there wondering 'Well, what if this happens...' or 'What if that happens?' School, for me, was one of those decisions.

Sure, i knew that it was what i was supposed to do. However, it didn't make sense. What for? Where was the money coming from? Would it take me away from my current goals? How would it affect my kids? Is it even necessary?

I stepped out before I saw all the pieces come together. I signed up and started my class. I was diligent and filled out all the forms for a pell grant, but committed in my heart that i wasn't going to go into debt to go to school. I've been in the dangerous quicksand of debt and have committed never to go there again. If i couldn't pay cash for it, i wasn't going to take it. Then, someone came up to me. They said, 'I hear you're going back to school and i think that's great. I talked with someone that you need to talk with. They're the head of an organization that i think will be interested in what you're doing and may want to help.' I said 'OK. When and where?'

Long story short... God showed up again! I'll be able to take at least 3 classes per semester with the help of this organization! So, I'm signed up for Microeconomics and a Communications course. I'll be signing up for one more in a week or two. Please keep me in your prayers as i juggle work, school, family and ministry. I believe this is God's goal for me today and that i am in His perfect will.

Now, maybe you've been dragging your feet. You've heard the call or the push or the nudge but you're asking yourself, 'But what if this or that.' Stop!!!! Step out and the road will emerge. Start walking and the ground will firm up beneath your feet. Let your movement be the impetus of growth necessary in your life today. Mentally, emotionally and spiritually - you need to take that step today. Stop making excuses and just GO FOR IT!
