choices

we make choices of everyday. some small, some large. the question really is do we think about how that choice will affect us, or those around us. when i was younger i made a lot of bad choices. i still don't always make the right choice. the difference now is i experience guilt or shame in a bad decision.

when we go against something, or someone that we feel wrong and do it anyway we are usually setting ourselves up for trouble. i think often about why someone would continually make bad choices in their life knowing the outcome is always the same. i can pretty much bet, and win that if you make the choice to put GOD in your life that is not the wrong one.

it is hard being an adult. i remember quite vividly wanting to be able to do all the things "grown-ups" did. i just had no idea what all that meant. i give thanks to my parents for trying to hold me back from the long awaited adulthood. now any choice i make is going to have an affect on my children. i only hope that with every mistake i make with them they will forgive me, and every good thing we have tried to teach them will be carried out throughout their life. by then though that's all we can pray for, because it will be their life.

when i made the choice to let HIM in i knew that i could never go back to before. i haven't always lived up to my side of the bargain, but the wonderful gift that HE gave me is HE accepts me back with open arms. we as individuals are going to have to make some hard choices in the next coming years in this country. we can't ignore the problems that we facing as a nation. we can't ignore problems in own life that we are facing. we just gotta do it and with HIM behind us, guiding us, helping us we can make it. through HIM is our only salvation.

"his GOD instructs him and teaches him the right way." isaiah 28:26
