But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”<br /><br /> On Choosing to Begin<br /><br />The process of choosing, which many call beginning can be difficult, challenging, and affirming. Beginning is a foundational step in become an individual, and occurs within a loving family as children become teens and their parents encourage them to begin their exploration of appropriate possibilities, see which ones they will chose, and try to assist them along the way. <br /><br />Yet for some, this process does not occur. Whether this happens because of the environment, generationally taught fear or the individual’s own fear is not important. It is important to note that since each of us will stand before a Holy and righteous God, and see the books of life and death opened that each person chose. In becoming aware of choices, we are able to choose, and in choosing, we define who we are. <br />Joshua 24:15 “…then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.

I have had a blog set up for several months, but never knew what to post - and never told anyone I had it. I guess you could say I was "hiding out" and not yielding to Him as I should. I made my first post on the blog today, but, I will admit, with limited notification/sharing. I have submitted it to the review of the Writing Fun and Support group on FB. It is a small start, but it is a step in right direction.<br /><br />Thank you challenging the comfort zone I was deeply rooted in. Many blessings on your writing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
