FOUR QUESTIONS FOR BETTER DECISIONS


Really
“What was I thinking?” We’ve all asked ourselves that question at some point. So, how do we avoid making decisions that become regrets?



The Story of Your Life
Every decision we make becomes a permanent part of the story of our lives. But how do we keep that in mind when our emotions threaten to get the best of us?



Pay Attention to the Tension
We all face decisions in life that leave us feeling a bit uneasy. So, how do we make the right decision when what we’re considering feels wrong?



Passin' It On
Good decisions lead to fewer regrets in life. But could embracing a greater purpose change the way we approach every decision?





Love, Dates & Heartbreaks

The Right Person Myth
When dating, it’s easy to believe that finding the right person and saying the right vows will solve everything. Maybe it’s time we debunk those myths.




The Fine Print
The idea of finding love is often more exciting than actually preparing for it. But could our preparation be the very thing that helps us win the relationship we’ve always wanted?




Grown-Up Love
Countless love stories and fairy tales focus on people finding love and living happily ever after. But how do we navigate relationships in the real world?




Five Rules for Dating
Dating is complicated. But does it really have to be?




Learning From Past Relationship Mistakes
When it comes to relationships, how do we make sure we’re learning from our past mistakes instead of repeating them?



Getting Over A Broken Heart
We all have hopes and dreams, but what are we supposed to do when our hearts are broken and it seems like our dreams can’t come true?







THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO PREDICTING YOUR FUTURE

Principle of the Path
We all end up somewhere in life. Why not end up somewhere on purpose?



Your Intention Please
What do you do when you realize there’s a gap between where you are in life and where you want to be?



Follow
When you realize you’ve lost your way, whom do you trust to lead you in the right direction?




Appealing is Revealing
Distractions. Temptations. We’ve all got ‘em. But when emotions threaten to lead us astray, how do we keep our focus on what’s most important?



Fear Less

Fear Less
While it’s impossible to be fearless, we can all fear less. But where do we start?



BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING

Do not worry about tomorrow.
God holds each day in the palm of His hand.
Yesterday's cares have all past.
God sees the future, only He understands.

With Christ in control, there is no reason to fear.
He knows the beginning from the end.
He will walk with you through all your days.
Be anxious for nothing.  Jesus is your dearest Friend.

The problems of life that cause worry
Are not worthy of causing alarm.
Jesus will keep you safe in His care.
He will go before you, to keep you safe from all harm.

Trust in the Lord, completely.
Acknowledge Him in all your ways.
Lean not to your own understanding.
Jesus is Lord of all our days.
