Choices

Are you standing at a crossroad or a fork in the road?


Sometimes we reach this point and we just want a sign that will tell us which choice will be the one to make us happy. 

If we all had signs that told us the answers we would never learn to appreciate the good things in life. We wouldn't have to work hard to get to that point. It's time to take a chance! Step out in FAITH and trust God to guide you where He wants you! You CANNOT go WRONG with HIM! The road may be more difficult, but with trials and troubles, comes strength! Look at all you've ALREADY been through, it has NOT brought you to be WEAK, but STRONG! Flex your muscles and see yourself the way God sees you! 

God wants us to know that He made us for a purpose and sometimes it is different that what we see for ourselves. I have a friend who thought she was meant to be a teacher for as long as you could remember, but one day, God smacked her in the face with the reality that He was calling her to a different purpose. Now she is earning her education toward a psychology degree in order to help others one day. Not just children, but people of all ages. She can still teach with this degree, but she can do so much more. It is out of her "comfort zone", but she is learning to love what God has called her to do.

We never know what He wants for us until he opens that door and pushes us through it, but sometimes He lets us make the call. My friend did not HAVE to listen to God's calling. She could have made the choice to stick with education, it was completely up to her. Like Jonah and the whale... Jonah chose to run and not follow God's calling for him... he ended up going through a lot more "trials" because of that choice and still, he ended up fulfilling God's calling on his life, he just took a detour. God will do the same in your life. No matter what choice you make, at some point God will bring you right back to where He wants you, but if you resist it, you might be setting yourself up for more trials. You will learn from those trials, just as Jonah did, so don't worry if your choice is right, no matter what your choice, God will guide you as long as you allow Him!

I'm praying for each of you, who are at a crossroad in your life. Make your choice!! Do not be afraid!!
