Whether it is what is happening with the details of Lindsay Lohan’s life, or the allegations concerning Herman Cain, the fact is, we have all made bad choices we wish we could take back, but today is a new day…and its time to make better choices.
“When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels” ~ Anonymous
It’s choices that determine how much money you make, your career, whether you realize your dreams, who you date, how much weight you lose or gain, and so forth. Unfortunately, no matter what our education, society doesn’t always do a great job teaching us how to make good choices. We rarely learn a decision-making process we can implement repeatedly, no matter the topic. Here’s five things to consider before you go forward on any project or decision:
1. Get my mind in a good place.
2. Get my spirit in a good place.
3. Have I checked my plans with smart people?
4. Do my plans coincide with God’s plans for my life?
5. How will this choice make me feel in the future?
This is what God says,
the God who builds a road right through the ocean,
who carves a path through pounding waves,
The God who summons horses and chariots and armies—
they lie down and then can’t get up;
they’re snuffed out like so many candles:
“Forget about what’s happened;
don’t keep going over old history.
Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.
It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?
There it is! I’m making a road through the desert,
rivers in the badlands.
Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’
—the coyotes and the buzzards—
Because I provided water in the desert,
rivers through the sun-baked earth,
Drinking water for the people I chose,
the people I made especially for myself,
a people custom-made to praise me.”Isaiah 43:16-21 (MSG)

Yes, Tim I like what you’re saying here. I’ve decided to be fully present and fully alive. I made the decision to enjoy my life and take advantage of God given opportunity as it happens. I’m learning to abound and abase with a joyful spirit putting the Lord first, family second, other matters must take their place in line according to their given priority. I would like to speak to you for a minute of your coveted time the next time you’re in my town if you do not mind, Dr Storey, concerning an important decision I must make for my life.
Hola Flaco…
Simplicity comes a lot in mind . Frugal with a fritzy thrifty twitz… I’m so In love with Christ, that singing carols & stocking up hot cocoa gives me the fuzzies..I believe the right choices in life are always done through disipline, chastisement & pruning..When God sends us to His Celestial dry cleaner’s, we really begin to look like Christmas,
There is hope in our Strong Tower!!!! Our beloved Isaiah said ”God likes new things”
