WALK THE LINE:
LITTLE THINGS MATTER
The things you do today will affect your tomorrow. I remember someone sharing this truth with me through the following illustration:
Think of God's best for your life in terms of a straight line and then think of every decision you make that is outside of God's way as a line angling away from God's way. At first it may seem things aren't that bad. It's only after a span of time and through continuing that same pattern you see just how far off course you've become. The minor decisions, like paying attention in class, seem insignificant to you today. But allow that to become a habit and four years down the road you can graduate without regret. It's the little things that can get you lost on your journey.

continue down the wrong path.
