The Choices We Make

My class reunion was this past weekend and I decided not to go...there were many reasons but mainly it is just a really busy time of year for us.....But I have seen many, many pictures thanks to my facebook friends...it has been a  trip down memory lane for me... seeing pictures of people I haven't seen in decades..and to see that some are happy where they are in life...and some looked miserable...isn't that the way life is?  it's all about the choices we make..

As I was watering this morning, I began to think about all of the choices in my life that have caused me to be where I am at this point in life....and that is important...our life is the sum of our own choices.

I chose to marry Bryan when he asked me....I had prayed about it for a couple of years and knew it was the right decision for me to make...my choice...I could have chosen to marry another...or to stay single....but I chose to wait for the BEST..not settle for just good or even bad...

I have followed God with my life...not always making the most popular choices...sometimes making really hard ones...but I am sure I have been seeking Him every step of the way...have I done it perfectly?  NO...that is why there is repentance......but I do know this...I have surrendered my life to Him and let Him guide me in my choices....and those choices have guided me here..where I am today...and I KNOW that I live in the place He chose for me and I am married to the husband He chose for me and I am doing with my life what pleases Him..I want to make a difference in this life..to help as many people as possible.....not just live a nice little life with very low impact....and you can do this too...

 I put my life in the hands of the One that can use me to do this..if there is only one, let me be that woman..the totally surrendered to God woman.....here I am , use me....

this movie came to mind this morning..if you haven't seen it yet, it is a good one to watch....it is a classic about making choices....just watch the trailer and you will get the gist of it....
