Sunday Morning message - “Life is about choices”
I didn’t make it up but it is very true. You cannot predict your challenges but you can have full control of how you deal with those challenges. Whether it is a relationship, job, spouse, child, friend, financial or death that challenges us it won’t be pretty. The moment that happens we get to: be sad, afraid, lonely, depressed, or whatever feeling we may encounter. We are human. Allow yourself to feel the feelings. Again, this may not be so easy, but it is part of the process. That all being said, from that moment on, once it is a fact, it is history, it is in the past, now it is up to us. If we need to deal, vent, cope, quit, move, breathe, pray or all of the above, do so. But how is the choice. How is your choice and ALWAYS will be. Making the right choice was never promised to be easy. The gift is the option. It is a blessing. Become challenged with out the benefit of choice and you will know exactly what I mean.
I am not weak if I fall, make a mistake, a bad decision, stumble, cry, hurt or do not have the answer. I am weak if I simply choose to stay there. I am weak if I do not deem myself worthy of the effort it takes to take that first baby step. The first step is a choice. That choice is yours. That is why, no matter how you may feel right now, you are blessed.
