Choices and Decisions
I am on Snow Day #3 in my little corner of the world and decided to move from the couch, which has the WARM electric blanket to surf a bit. It may seem strange to hear me say this, but I really did want us to have school today. There were a few things I wanted to do with my students that probably won't be done due to the short week. But, then again, our lives will go on.
With all this free time, I've thought a lot about choices and decisions. I always get a bit reflective as the year comes to an end. I look back on the year with some wonderful memories that will have me smililng for years to come, and I also have some memories that I would like to forget for the rest of my life.
I imagine that's just life. I mean, without a bit of challenge there would be no reason to walk with God and have faith. I could lean on my own understanding and do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. And trust me, that wouldn't be healthy!
In the midst of it all, I think God gives us enough wisdom and knowledge at times to let us make our own decisions. Afterall, if it isn't a door he wants me to walk through, things won't work out.
So, I am thinking I need some change.
A change of scenery.
I don't know what that means. I mean, you can ask anyone close to me, I HATE and I mean HATE change.
But for the first time in my adult life I really feel as if something needs to be changed...re-adjusted.
So, I'm in the prayer stage. And in the thinking stages.
And I know that most of my reading audience that knows me well knows what I'm thinking. So, I am asking all who read this for some prayer support.
While I believe that God will answer my prayers in my own prayer time, I also believe that God honors it when we pray for one another. In the past few weeks I have truly felt the prayers that people have prayed for me.
So, in all my ramblings, I guess this is more of a prayer request than anything else.
As much as I hate to admit it, the idea of change scares the begeebers outta me.

Later!
