I don't know how, but often in my life I get stuck in a rut with what I will call tunnel vision. I focus on one way of thinking, one way of believing how God sees me and run my life from there. Recently I have been thinking about making some life changes possibly moving, maybe going back to school etc...and the past two weeks I have been stressing over making "THE RIGHT" choice (as if my world would end if I happened to make "THE WRONG" choice). I was feeling bogged down by the stress of choosing correctly.
Thankfully after a brilliant conversation w a friend (who also happens to be my pastor) I realized that it may not be about making "THE RIGHT" or "THE WRONG" choice that matters in this process, but the fact that I am going through the process.
I want to please God with my life, and with the choices I make of how I live my life. What I was missing is the understanding that God IS pleased with my life, and with the choices I make. He is pleased that I want to include Him. Some how understanding that has helped relieve the stress that was weighing me down in making "THE RIGHT" choice for my life.
Now, with fresh eyes and a light heart I feel like I can journey on. I still don't know what I am going to do with my life for the next little while. But that's o.k. It's nice to know that where ever I decide to go, God is there, cheering for me and encouraging me to be the best reflection of Him, wherever I am.
And thus, I simply want to walk next to you and whisper a reminder that it is in this process of life that God is with us. He is not waiting behind door 1 or 2 waiting for you to make "THE RIGHT" choice. He trusts you and will journey with you where ever you go.
Grace and Peace
Annette
