A right decision
"Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever." It is our own decision to do what we want to do, it is our decision what to believe in, we choose our future. How do we know if we made the right decision? One of the most important decisions that I made is that I Chose to follow Christ. Looking back then, I wasn't really sure if I was doing the right thing. So how do we know what to choose? And what to do? Pray. Even you don't believe, you don't know what to do. Just pray. God will always lead you, tell you what to do, and tell you how to make the right choice. "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24 If a person follow Christ, chooses to make this great decision, then God will provide. Another example of making a right decision is when I went to an orphanage. I was 13. Every time I would hear the world "orphanage", it will make feel sad and uncomfortable. This is a place where kids don't have parents. They need love. They look into your eyes very deep and you feel this warmth inside you, but you don't understand why. Why it is happening to them. For me, it was hard to choose to go or not to go. I really wanted to serve these kids, and be with them, give them 4 hours of love but at the same time there was a part of me that was saying "no" because I felt bad for them, sad, mad, and my heart hurt. I made the decision to go, and that day, God changed me. How I started with a quote that the smallest decisions can change you. Like me, I chose to go, and it was gods plan, He changed me. Making right decisions is hard, your have to think first, and then go and do it.

I love your idea of this essay! It is a very catchy topic. Your beginning quote immediately captures my attention! Great work! After you explain your main topic i like how you have examples and prove those examples with verses. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emily, the topic is great! The quote drew me in and I wanted to keep reading. The fact that you provided an example from your life makes the essay feel more personal and made me actually consider what you are saying more seriously! So good choice in topic, reader atraction and real life examples!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emily and Masha, that quote really left me wanting more! Great use of scripture, you were able to back up your ideas and had me convinced. Your personal example was a great touch to your writing, what really caught my eye was "They look into your eyes very deep and you feel this warmth inside you, but you don't understand why." this sentence gave me a picture of what you were saying and made me imagine the feeling you were going through. Great piece of writing, can't wait to hear more!
