HALT...TAKE6 and pray!  Let me explain.

Life is a chain of decisions linked to your destiny; good ones [decisions] keep the train moving forward while poor decisions derail the train if allowed to go unchecked.

There is not a day that goes by that doesn't require us to make many decisions. I'm talking about things even as simple as what to wear and what to eat. So as we continuously seek to get better on the inside, let's also turn our focus to the daily choices we make that are in no small part, steps (or links) to us reaching our full destiny.  

So HALT...TAKE6 and pray! Don't make any decisions when you are:

H - hungry

A - angry

L - lonely

T - tired

Instead, TAKE "6 seconds; 6 minutes; 6 hours; 6 days, or whatever it takes" and pray FIRST...before you make any decisions. This especially includes decisions with men; however taking time to gather yourself and pray is an awesome tool to use in every aspect of your life. Whether you have to make a decision for a major purchase, responding to your children, family, work situations or friends; take a pause and pray. For example, when we are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, being rational is usually not the most important thing. We want to be satisfied or get some sort of relief immediately. But are the decisions we make during these times the same choices we would make if our heart, mind, and body were at peace? When you have time, let your mind run back to see if this is true for your past.
