First 18

I grew up in a christian school, so in the first 18 years of my life i got asked what my favorite bible verse was probably a hundred times. i remember changing the verse each time, whether it be for 8th grade promotion, yearbook, or class verse. i definitely got a reality check my senior year when i got asked the same question again. thinking it wasn't a big deal like every other verse hadn't been i picked 1 Kings 4:29 "God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore." i never saw that verse pop up again my entire senior year until, the graduation ceremony. I was trying to be funny like i always try to do, but little did i know that that verse was going to go up as my life verse as i walked across that stage. Sure everyone laughed, but when i got home i just thought to myself, "when people look back at me i don't want them to think about how i made a joke out of my life verse.". So i decided then and there that i should pick a life verse and stick with it. I choose this particular verse because my senior year spring break was spent at home, in my room, grounded. My dad made me memorize this verse in my "free time".  Hebrews 12:11 -

"No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."

 Being grounded over spring break as you can imagine wasn't pleasant, but the choice that i made had a consequence, the path that i took, lead to a place.

-Every decision that you make is a path, and PATHS LEAD TO PLACES.
