I went to bed and woke up with these words that have been an encouragement in my season of overwhelm: If you’re not in control, who is? What person or situation or emotion or fear are you allowing to have control over the way you conduct your day? . Who are you giving the power to steer your decisions and keep you from living the wholesome life YOU deserve? . God has given us free will to choose to live out a life with everything we could ever need at our fingertips. This is a reminder that nothing is greater than that. . If I have a desire that keeps showing up and I cannot shake, perhaps it’s part of my purpose to live this way. Honey, no one can take that away. . It’s not a matter of questioning IF we have the capability to choose to think and decide to live a better life. We have every single thing we need to do it. It’s a matter of WILL we. . Will we take control of this life we’ve been given and live for a greater purpose? . Will we choose to cast down the thoughts that hinder us, bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ for a clean conscience and full life (regardless of our mishaps). . His word speaks so much in actionable steps where we are the students and he is the ultimate teacher. . He instructs but we choose. The key is, we are the ones who are in control of our day to day actions. We choose. . Although I’ve slipped into a victim mindset of self pity and shame of my situation. I am reminded of that It is MY choice to refocus and take back control of how I choose to live and NO thought, situation, past mistake or fear will hold me back from living a wholesome life. If I choose.
