Crossroads that come to you in your life.......which road will you choose?
Everyday you have choices to make that will determine what happens in your life. A choice to do good or bad. A choice to change or not to change. A choice to help or not to help. A choice to accept things or not. A choice to do better.
When you have something planned out and it goes a total different direction than what you thought it should, you learn something new. Just because it doesn't go the way you wanted it to go does not mean that its bad.
When you have something planned out and it goes a total different direction than what you thought it should, you learn something new. Just because it doesn't go the way you wanted it to go does not mean that its bad.
what you have planned out may change. You have to learn to keep an open mind when it comes to your plans not going the way you hoped they would go. Wait on the Lord to allow happen what needs to have happen. Dont get in the way and be selfish and do things your way.
Doors will opened that you never thought would open. When you come to a cross road in life and you have to make that choice of what road to take, it takes a lot out of you. Realizing that which ever way you go something in your life will change by your choice.
The thing that gets me more then anything is that when you take a certain road, you will never know what it might have been like if you took a different direction with things. To wonder will drive you crazy. You will never get the same choice exactly the same way at the same time, same day, or same situation ever. So when you make that choice that determines so many things for your future, you really need to pray through it. Your choice can effect others around you. Remember that. Most of all, your choice WILL effect something in your life.
When your eyes are opened to a pattern that continues in your life and you don't like the results that you are seeing, you can change it. You can change it by your thoughts, your actions, things you say or don't say. You are the one that has control over YOU. Especially your thoughts. You are the one that brings most things into your life.
If you have a formula and its 1 plus 1 you will always get the result 2. If you are wanting a different result YOU have to change something. If you keep doing the same thing over and hoping for a different answer, IT WILL NOT happen. You have to be the one to take control and change something. Even just a different way of thinking. Opening your eyes to see things in a different way. Starting there will help you to handle things in a different way and with that you will have a different outcome.
I understand that everyone makes mistakes. In all ways someone does something they should not do. The bible speaks about how we are all sinners. That is where forgiveness comes in. We have to have a forgiving heart no matter what.
When you have a habit; a behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance b : an acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary c : ADDICTION . It could be a good habit or a bad habit. Just like everyday we get up and brush our teeth. We take a shower. We have good habits. Then we also have bad habits. Some that we see and some that we dont see. I am at the point of trying to recognize my habits. Good ones and bad ones.
Learning that God has given us the free will to make our own choice in life. Our own choice not to live for him or to live for him. A Choice to do to good or bad. A choice to hurt or to love. A choice to show by our actions that we love God and others. If we truly love God we will show it by our actions. We will do things that please him. Just like when loving others. We will show by actions who we love. We will fall at times. Especially when we keep allowing those bad habits to continue. Having a forgiving heart is very important.
So here I am and there you are. Whoever you are. I hope that from some of what I have wrote will help you in what you may be going through. I am very thankful for things I have been through. If we never go through hard times we will never learn how great things are. Something good, in some way, will come out of a situation that you feel is the worst thing you are going through. Remember sometimes we have to taste the bitter to appreciate the sweet. Sometime we have to have the rain and clouds to appreciate the sunshine. There are reasons why we have to go through things. Just think, maybe the worst thing you went through in your life that you thought you could never get through when you were going through it, could help someone else. God can bring someone else in your life that is going through something similar. You can help them, support them, and understand heart to heart what they feel cause you have been there.
