Do you ever have times or seasons of your life when you think back over choices or decisions you made or didn’t make, that have changed the entire course of your life?  I’m sure anyone who is reading this can relate.  Our life is a process filled with the ebb and flow of choices–many that created failure, which may affect you this very moment.   And many choices you and I have made have come and gone which brought great blessing to you and others–choices that have proved a catalyst of positive influence to other people.
