The Choice

Everyone has a choice to make, it may not be something that you decide to day or maybe even tomorrow but at one point in your life you will have to choose. the choice is not simple because it is not as clear cut as the human race would like to believe it is. This choice has been wrestled with for years and years and you have been trying to figure it out your entire life. Maybe not consciously but it is eating away at the very core of your soul, and the choice is this... are YOU going to be a SLAVE to sin or are YOU going to make a decision and be a SERVANT to Christ. A lot of people view this as trading one bondage for another when in fact you are trading one bondage for freedom. You may not understand and you may not want to but people are more happy when they are in the will of Christ then when they are ducking and hiding from Him. which believe me, doesn't work. The Struggle with this choice is the fact that people like to remain in control of their lives rather than let someone work through them. I have noticed that human nature is very selfish and hard headed when it comes to someone telling you what to do. and that attitude doesn't stop with people but people reflect that attitude to God as well. Many people have hardened their hearts to the point where they could care less if there even is a God, but i Pray that you never reach that point. Do not be afraid to let God work through you to better the situation of other people. Die to self and serve Him who created you and don't stumble back into the slavery and blackness of sin because it goes no where. By the Choice that Christ made for us on the Cross, we are set FREE! now its your turn to choose...Well? which is it?

The Road

It's weird, I sit here in my dull lit room just thinking about life and what will happen in the next few years. I have a career to start thinking about, friends that are coming and going in my life faster than my college experience has gone. But out of all of this "stuff" thats going on in my head and the numerous questions that i have about life, I'm curious as to where I am going.
Life has so much to offer and i can't help but think that I might be missing something along the way. Was it someone i was suppose to meet? or a relationship i was to have but never got around to it? A discipline that i should have learned while still under the protection and safety of my parents home? Or maybe a parable that I needed to put into practice. Whatever it was i can't help but think that any chance i had to obtain it is slipping through my fingers like smoke. so many questions so little time, so much to do and not enough time to do it. The road is going to be long and the potholes will be large, I do not know where it is taking me or how I will end up but I can tell you that i will hasten after the goal. To run the race and achieve the prize, thats all we can do right ? Well maybe not. There is one Ideal, one truth that keeps me going straight on the road of life and one person who holds my life in his hands. As i walk this road I will fall...i will get scraped up, and he will pick me up again. He was, is, and is to come. This season of life will pass and the next one will roll in faster than the previous, but he IS.
