choices

i was talking to a good friend of mine last night and she was amazed that my grocery bills haven't gone sky high since i now have 2 extra kids that are big eaters. i explained that they have stayed about the same because its all in the choices i make at the grocery store.

isn't that life....its all about the choices we make.

this one little phrase just got my mind to working.

our whole life is all about the choices we make. we want to lose weight but are we making the right food choices. we want to be secure financially but are we making the right money choices. we want to be close to God but are we making the choice to spend time with Him and listen to His leading and direction. and then when He tells us to do something do we choose to do it. do we rationalize and justify our bad choices and then get angry when things don't work out our way. or do we keep making the same poor choice over and over and wonder why our life is miserable.

Lord...help me to remember to choose You and Your ways each and everyday, help me to remember i am Yours and You are mine and that everyone is Your creation. No one is greater or less than who You created them to be. help me to make those good choices and to forgive myself when i make a bad one.
