choices

Choices that we take help determine the future we have
But sometimes, the very point where the decision has to be made, we fumble.
Many times I have been put to the test
Placed at a juncture where 2 paths lie ahead.
I am certain I have chosen the wrong ones before.
and the rebellion within me often picks the more challenging of the 2.
It is easy to start but never easy to complete.
I've always believed in life being a journey
where we should have a taste of everything but at the same time
have a discerning mind.
To try, find out the good and the bad and get out before the bad engulfs you.
But I was too proud to realise that...
I am only human.
And earthly beings as we are.. we fumble.
In good times, there is a hand that picks us up.
In bad times, we just want to stay in that comfort zone and refuse assistance.
then we sink deeper and deeper..

I know there's a discerning part of me.
there is a strong conscience in me.
But there also is a strong will to engage in good and the.. not so good.
But I pray there'll come a day where I will be strong again to see what i cannot see now.

Yesterday I learnt ..
-that once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension
-In Romans 6:14 FOr Sin shall not be your master because you are not under law , but under grace.
-In 1 Peter 1:3,4 I have been given a new hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an INHERITANCE that can never perish, spoil or fade-kept in heaven for me.
-And.. 'He who wants to keep his garden tidy does not reserve a plot of weeds.'
