CHOICES

Verdell Davis writes, “Can strength be born out of weakness? Courage out of fear? Joy out of sorrow? Confidence out of pain? New life out of loss”?
When we stand in the middle of a life storm, it seems the storm has become our way of life. We cannot see a way out. We are unable to chart a way back to smoother waters. We feel defeated-and broken. Will that brokenness produce a cynicism that will keep us forever in the mire of “if only” thinking? Or will we yield up that brokenness to the resources of the One who calms the winds and waves, heals the broken-hearted, and forgives the most grievous of sins? The CHOICE is ours.
I have found that while you can plan to move on, the pull of the past is a powerful force. All kind of emotions swirl around ones head like a giant tornado pulling debris from every art and part. Guilt forms out of questions like, should I be moving on? Can I move on? Can I actually ever enjoy life again without Jill? What will everyone think? Will they think I didn't love her?
Choices have to be made or one will stay static and static waters stagnate and die. No one told me about these choices, they're hard to make and you must make them alone.
I am going up the mountains to be with God today and I am going to pray for every soul in this horrible place of hard CHOICES.
