Trust and guts! Obviously we can only go forth boldly if we continue to keep our personal times of prayer vibrant and honest. It is in those times that God sifts motives, disciplines and encourages. It is because we have that personal time with Him that we can believe in the decisions we make. In other words, our decisions are on the firm foundation of a committed relationship with Christ, that is our protection against failure. We might stumble, but we won't fail -- because he has our back covered. Even the writing of this blog has been a decision, and you can be sure that it will bear fruit because it was born out a relationship with God. Keep up the great work!
