~change~

Change always comes bearing gifts   ~Price Pritchett
change and i haven’t always been friends over the years…normally change is something i resist at all costs.  change would make me so angry and frustrated and eventually i would just give up, finding it much easier to just not change. 
last year i realized easier isn’t always better.  and i knew in my heart there were things i wanted to change, things i HAD to change.  i also knew i couldn’t do it alone, the only way my change would be successful was with the help of God.  and i prayed…and prayed…and prayed…He was there and listening.  my change has been a success because of Him helping me.
today i find myself humbled and again at His feet, praying for help and change.  i know i can’t do it alone and honestly, i wouldn’t want to.  when it comes to change, there is God’s part, and there is our part. if we want to change, we can.  but we have to do it God’s way.

love is a choice

“Now choose life, so that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” – Deuteronomy 30:20

you choose to love or you choose not to love.  
we’ve bought into this myth that love is uncontrollable, that it’s something that just happens to us; it’s not something we control.  love doesn’t just happen to you.  love is a choice and it represents a commitment.  there’s no doubt about it, attraction is uncontrollable. but attraction is not love.

i have to admit i’m guilty of thinking love is uncontrollable.  when i married joe i had NO IDEA what love meant.  i thought we would just breeze through life because we loved each other, i thought that was enough.  i didn’t realize what a daily choice and commitment it would be. 
you must choose to love God
he won’t force you to love him (Deuteronomy 30:20).  you can ignore God and go a totally different way.  you can destroy your life if you choose to do that.  God still won’t force you to love him because he knows love can’t be forced.
