Every action, whether positive or negative, starts with a decision. Decisions can either make you or break you. There are individuals who have never recovered from the effects of the negative choices they have made. It is therefore very important that we live close to God and seek Him as we make decisions. This book is written for those of us who have made negative choices and are trying to recover from the effects of them; those of us that are suffering from the consequences of negative choices that were made by others, that in some shape or form affected our lives. It seeks to help guide us in the importance of seeking God and hearing from Him as we go through the decision making process. The author relays these through a series of personal experiences prior to, and throughout the years of her walk with God. Even after we have made mistakes or suffered mishaps, it takes a decision to trust God to use our mistakes or misfortunes and work them together for our good. If we allow Him, the God of second chances will use our mistakes and negative decisions to refine us and advance us in our purpose. However, it all starts with a decision. We have to decide to trust Him, to seek Him, have faith in Him and to lay all our pain, our struggles, our shortcomings, mistakes and negative decisions at the foot of the Cross. It's a decision you will never regret.
