Adventurously Expectant

I never asked for an easy life. I asked for one that honors the One who made me.

I choose

We make zillions of choices a day. They start with, “Will I wake up right now or will I snooze the alarm?” Followed with, “Do I snooze for 5 minutes or 10 minutes?” Coupled with “Do I throw my phone across the room or just get up and get dressed already?”

By the time I hop in the shower, I have made 10 different choices already and all that is before I choose my outfit for the day (a whole slew of other choices are in that bag of animal crackers).

But the most important choice I make is not a one time choice. Its a choice I make throughout the day.

I choose God.

I choose His way. I choose to hold my tongue when I really want to just give you my opinion. I choose humility, when I really want to railroad my way. I choose Love, when its easier to disengage. I choose to bless even when its more fun to complain.

I choose God. Every second, Of every minute. Of every hour. Of everyday.

I choose out of a transformation that happened to me almost 10 years ago, when I chose to make His way higher than my way.

I choose to be continued to be transformed by His word. His Spirit and most importantly His Love, which is so evident by Him giving His Son so I would not have to live a life where there is no joy, no love, no peace, no grace, no amazing good stuff that I love so much.

I choose God. I choose to believe He makes every crooked path straight. I choose to be uncomfortable though I long to control every aspect of my life. I choose to know that He sees me, He loves me, He is for me and He is protecting me. I choose that I am His child and I was created to be blessed and be a blessing.

I give myself no alternative. I choose God.
