Good First Morning!

Good First Morning to you and yours! This is my first day as a blogger and I see that I have a lot to learn about setting up the blogspot. Decisions, decisions, decisions. I have had problems during my life concerning decisions. Actually, the trouble is in making decisions where there may be more than one best soluction. Oh, not anything morally or ethically. I stand firm on the dictates of truth, fidelity, & trustworthiness. My indecision stems from an ingrained philosophy of perfectionism..."Do it right or don't do it at all." Hmmm, I may not be able to do it perfectly right, so maybe it should wait until another day when I am better at it. There goes the decision. Place it on a shelf with all the other decisions, or should I say indecisions, of my life. I am an avid collector. See my trophy shelf of Wait 'Til Another Day Awards. The trophy case is full and still I am adding more each day.

There have been some moments in my life when I have been led to make a decision on a moment's notice...the day that Upson High School's principal offered me a job teaching Spanish, I knew to say"Yes!", the day Kenny asked me to marry him, I immediately said, "Yes!"; when Bro. Donald Gibbs asked me to sing with the Promise Quartet, I waited for God & Kenny to say "Yes!" One decision, the most precious of them all, was made on Saturday, August 11, 1973 at Faith Baptist Church in Cedartown, Georgia after a singing with the Singing Echoes. The Holy Spirit came seeking my soul and I made the decision to follow Jesus Christ that night. I have never regretted that decision for one single moment. Jesus led me to the open arms of my heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit has kept company with me ever since. Thank you, Lord, for leading me to make that decision on a moment's notice without hesitation and without one grain of perfectionistic thinking. You were my righteousness and I didn't have to wait until I was "good enough".

Living Victoriously through Him,

Vickie
