I CHOOSE

Choose you this day whom ye will serve...
but as for me and my house, 
we will serve the LORD.  
Joshua 24:15

In life we have many choices. 

Every day we make choices that affect our entire future.

Sometimes it seems like we do not have a choice 

about the events that we are involved in or facing, but we do.  

We have a choice as to how we will react 

to the circumstances and the attitudes or actions of others.

I heard a song written by Rodney Griffin today, 

sung by Ivan Parker 

that sums it up about the choices we make in our spiritual life.

“I Choose”

Master, may I be so honest?  Could I admit the way I feel?

I’m hurting.  It seems that You’ve forsaken.

I wonder, is Your love for me still real?

Though my friends think I am happy, unaffected by this trial,

they can’t see the pain I’m hiding just underneath my smile.

Master, I can’t live this way anymore.  So, today, I make my choice.

I choose to believe that You are faithful, and my heart is in Your hands,

and this mystery that I face today is part of a greater plan.

I choose not to be discouraged when the sun will not break through.

I have the choice of trusting You.  So, Lord, this is what I choose.

I know the road will not be easy.  I know I’ll have my weaker days.

And Satan will tell me I don’t mean it when I say I’ll trust God all the way.

But that really doesn’t matter.  I refuse to hear him out.

With my faith, I’ll find the power that will overcome all doubt.

Lord, I’ve never felt so strong as when I’m resting in Your arms.

I choose to believe that You are faithful, and my heart is in Your hands,

and this mystery that I face today is part of a greater plan.

I choose not to be discouraged when the sun will not break through.

I have the choice of trusting You.  So, Lord, this is what I choose.

I choose to believe that You are faithful, and my heart is in Your hands,

and this mystery that I face today is part of a greater plan.

I choose not to be discouraged when the sun will not break through.

I have the choice of trusting You.  So, Lord, this is what I choose.

This is what I choose.  Gonna trust You, Lord.  I choose!

I hope that this will encourage you as it did me.  

I choose to trust my Faithful Lord even when I do not understand.



Several cards I made this week.

blessing and cursing: 

therefore choose life,

Thanks for visiting and during this Holy Week may 

you keep Christ the center of your life!
