It's funny how things turn out isn't it? Every single decision we make leads us to where we are this day at this very moment. Some choices are easy peasy: What to eat, wear, what to do this day....not too difficult. Some aren't quite so easy: career choices or moves, crucial financial decisions....those are a little tougher. Nevertheless, all are choices.
And now we come to the crossroads, that proverbial fork in the road. You know the one where you can either stay in the mundane yet comfortable and predictable or the one that leads to the new and unknown.
I woke up this morning with the word crossroad in my head. Seriously, I could NOT get it out. Not in the argument I was having with Carl, not in Sunday School, not in church...and it's still there. I've prayed for the Lord to show me what in the world it's supposed to mean. I've read scripture, googled crossroads, songs about crossroads, EVERYTHING you can think of to figure this out.
I can't help but think that God gave me this word this morning to kind of step back and take inventory of my life. It's a time to look the things that I say are important: money, time, gifts, talents, relationships, and to see all of the things that God has given me for the battle ahead.
I have no real insight as to why this word has been so heavy on my mind today. Life is hard, y'all. Decisions are hard, especially when they involve the well being of your whole family.
I love the same, mundane, and comfortable. I hate change. I am one of the most pig-headed people you will ever meet when it comes to change...."if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is pretty much my mantra. God knows this and He know what will make me change and go down that unknown, uncomfortable road. He knows that in order to make me "move" He has to make things so uncomfortable for me that I feel I have no other way. I know this, yet here I am wondering what to do and how in the world do we even begin down this new, unknown road. I know one thing for sure, we are at the crossroads and there is no time to be indecisive.
Much Love,
Beth
