#1 Accepting Jesus Christ as my saviour.
#2 Breaking my engagement to my first fiance when I was 18.
#3 Waiting until the right man came along 6 years later.
There have been other important decisions, but priority wise, these are the top three.
Each would make an interesting novel.
For each of us Christians accepting Christ is the most important, and I always like to hear the details of that. But I would find it interesting to read about important decisions made by others and why.
Good thought questions, Kaye.
The best decision, after accepting Jesus, was taking the invitation of a young man in Boston, MA. I lived in Tulsa and we had been e-mailing each other for eight months. This was in ’95 when I had to explain e-mail to my friends. This young man suggested that I fly to Boston to meet him. I did. Two months later, I moved to Massachusetts. Two months after that I agreed to marry him. 364 days after meeting him face to face, I said, “I do.” So glad I said the first yes.
Besides becoming a christian I think the best decision was moving to this house and not buying the other one. I had lived in the previous house since I was 8 but after mum went into the nursing home the landlord had become quite nasty (that happened about 8 months before mum broke her leg) and was basically stalking me would drive in and out the drive several times a week, would drive by almost daily and hounded the place. I was looking into buying the place cos he wanted to sell then he evicted me for getting an evaluation which he gave approval for then use it as an excuse to evict me. I go back there to visit people and although the house is sold he still drives past it several times a week so I would never have gotten rid of him. This house fell in to my lap as it belongs to people I clean for (now over the road) and they had lots of stuff they needed to store here and leave in room so they get to use one room for storage and some of the furniture is in the rooms but its safe and its so cool in summer and the best place I have ever lived so to move and not buy was the best decision I have made.
The best decision I have ever made was to pursue my writing career. I have worked on my book for over 15 years. I started research before the web was in every home. I did it the hardway…with footwork. When I became ill and was forced to stay home, I began writing in ernest. Now I have just been contracted by an agent. God is blessing me.
Asking God for direction on what to do with my writing career.
This led to my attending the Fl Christian Writers Conference last week and then pitching my novel to a publisher who asked to see the whole thing after I rewrite the beginning.
Uh, God, I hadn’t planned to go quite this fast…
😀
Marrying Amy.

The best decision I ever made was to ask Jesus to forgive my sins, to turn from my sin, and to follow God. 🙂
