Our choices and the Lord’s ways

Do you know how many choices you make in a day?

From when we wake up to when we fall asleep, our day is a series of choices about what to wear, or eat, and who to see. What to do about this, that, and the other.

It can get too much at times. Wouldn’t it be easier if we had help?

What influences your choices?

We’re all, to some extent, influenced by other people, whether family or strangers, by whatever’s happening in our lives, and by things happening out there in the world.

For a long time, I thought I was the only person in the world who struggled with making a decision. From what to wear to work, to catch a bus or wait a little longer and catch a minivan, or how to get a website and start a blog. It was difficult for me to accept that it was okay to not know everything, and to not be sure of things.

The Lord’s Way

Only after I learned that I could trust God with my every moment and not just with my salvation that His Peace flowed into me, and into my life.

Like the psalmist I cried out to our Father-God, and told Him about every little thing I was struggling with. I told Him about the choices I had to make and invited Him to help me make the right ones.

It’s a practice that’s become a part of me, of my life. So far, it’s working just fine.
