Jedd: What ultimately most shape our lives, relationships, and legacy are the countless small choices we make each day. The "big" life decisions matter too, of course—what jobs we'll take, whom we'll marry, where we'll move. But by the time we reach those major crossroads, our direction mostly has already been set by patterns and character formed by the myriad little decisions that preceded it. As we grasp this truth, it gives an amazing freshness and gravity to daily life and decisions that previously seemed insignificant. It's asking good questions when everyone else is talking about themselves. Making a habit of times for Sabbath and solitude. Sharing of ourselves with uncommon transparency. Choosing to be attentive to the people whom others ignore. If we're going to be an apprentice to Jesus, this is where it happens.
