The Choice is Yours

Most people will say it’s their year because they experience an outer event that makes them happy, and that’s all well and good. But this year is my year because I’ve learned the strength and blessing of taking responsibility for my joy. How have I done this? By making a choice.

I have been unhappy with certain aspects of my life for a while now and a part of me was expecting things to change without me making a conscious decision. I will admit I was tired and I didn’t really want to have to make the extra effort. I was able to get away with it for a minute but I realized that it was exacting a heavy price on my joy and peace. I could no longer avoid not making a decision. I had to refocus and be intentional about how I wanted to experience life. After all, it was ultimately up to me.

As 2020 ended I knew that I was coming upon the precipice of two divergent paths. I decided that I wasn’t going to continue on a path that led to unfulfillment, the path that had me hitting the proverbial wall year after year. You see I had made security my idol. I had begun chasing after the feeling of safe instead of focusing on my purpose and completely trusting the plan of God. Yes, I too am human. This is why it is so important to take time to evaluate your life because it’s easy to miss things due to blind spots. This was a blind spot for me. I was holding on to safe to my own detriment. It was time to let go and allow the unknown to come rushing in. I was praying for God to change my situation, to remove hindrances…but the hindrance was me. It is true that we are our own worse enemy.

A choice has been made. The path that I will always choose is purpose and destiny. Sometimes it takes me a little while to drum up the courage but it’s God’s will for me! Like I said news to come…currently trusting God to roll out all elements of the plan. Can’t wait to see what’s to come, not only do I pray that it will bless me but that there will be an overflow that will inspire you to choose purpose and joy. God has a beautiful plan He wants to roll out in each of our lives, listen and stay true to your rhythm. The choice is yours.

With Love,
