What do dominos have to do with life-changing decisions? More than you might think. However, choosing the first domino is crucial.If you base every decision on the Word of God, then one good decision will lead to the next; it's a domino effect. But bear in mind that the process also works in reverse. If a person refuses to make Bible-based decisions, it is a negative version of the domino effect - a chain reaction that leads from bad to worse.God has blessed you with the freedom of choice. If you are really writing your life story one day and one decision at a time, then you have the power to determine how your story ends. But everything hinges on tipping the first domino. Make sure it falls in the right direction.Tim Lewis, a graduate of Oklahoma Christian University, has a bachelor's degree in English education and a master's degree in ministry.

Vernon, Mo., for eight years before moving to Oklahoma City to begin his work with the North MacArthur congregation in 2004.

Life is full of interruptions. How we handle those interruptions is a measure of our spiritual maturity. But this kind of growth does not come without a struggle: ¿ Childless Hannah deflected self-pity and Peninnah's taunts as she poured out her heart to God. ¿ Bitter Naomi blamed God for the loss of her husband and sons but sought relief within His Law and people. ¿ Helpless Hagar, desperate to save her child, lifted up her voice and wept. Each faced specific trials by making a decision to seek help from above, transforming her life. Each struggled. Each sought. Each grew. Are you struggling? Seek out the help of Hannah, Naomi, Hagar, Esther, Mary of Nazareth, Dorcas, Rahab, Sarah, Jochebed, Miriam, Mary of Bethany and Priscilla by way of God's Word and bloom into the spiritually mature woman God planned for you to be.
