Our friend Scott wrote a very interesting blog entry earlier this week. He’s been reading a book called “List Your Self: Listmaking as the Way to Self-Discovery: A Provocative, Probing and Personal Expedition Into Your Mind, Heart, and Soul”. The list he shared in his blog entry is the biggest turning points in his life. I thought I would make my list to share with yall.
The Biggest Turning Points in My Life
1983 – when I made my decision to become a follower of Christ
1997 – when I married the love of my life, Russell
1998 – when our first child, Jordan Taylor, was born into heaven because of miscarriage
1999 – when our princess girl, Damaris, was born
2001 – when our child, Micah Jayden, was born into heaven because of miscarriage; also the year that I finally finished my Bachelor’s degree
2003 – when we had our precious girl, Kerioth, live with us for such a short time, we had planned to adopt her, but things did not work out the way we had planned
2004 – when our child, Noah Avrey, was born into heaven because of miscarriage
2005 – when we realized just how much many Christians truly hate and despise other Christians to the point of telling numerous lies about our family & trying to destroy our family
2007 – when we moved to Abilene for Russ to get his M.Div. degree, I had no desire to return to school, but God has other ideas, it was this year that He called me to chaplaincy as a life vocation
2008 – when I was finally able to forgive someone who had hurt me so badly that the situation almost destroyed me
2009 – when our church family here in Abilene affirmed my call to ministry by ordaining me as a minister; still ahead this year is graduating with my Master of Divinity degree & begin my clinical residency as a hospital chaplain
What about you? What are your turning points? If you share, let me know here on my blog so I can come read your list.
