This pattern could truly destroy me if I decide to go off on the wrong path. I understand that I am getting closer to that crucial part in my life where I can affect my future by simple choices that I make daily. I can see my life going nowhere near the direction of strengthening my relationship with God at this point, but because of this class this all changed for me and I may be on the right path for pleasing Him. When I began this class I struggled with the concept of giving up the “American Dream” in order to be in God’s will for my life.
