Choices

Lately, I've been overwhelmed with the power of choice. We make so many choices in a day...what to eat, what to wear, what to watch on TV, what to listen to on the radio, to believe or not believe, joy or bitterness..... the list goes on and on.
Today, I have a choice before me. Now it isn't life altering, at least I don't think so. I'm getting my haircut. Keep it growing or cut it off? Choice.
Choice is scary. What if I make the wrong choice and have to live with a terrible hairstyle for months? That actually, happened to me back in 8th grade!! That was the only time I've cried over a haircut in my life, but then I was a 13 year old teenage girl and everything was emotional.

Choice is also a gift. I'm amazed that God gives us this much responsibility! Can I be trusted with choice?

Sometimes, I can't.

Today, I will choose short hair or long hair.... no big deal. But as the day goes by, I will make many other weightier choices along the way. Choices that will bring life to me or death to me. I know, that sounds harsh and such a downer for a blog, but its true.  Actually, I also have the power by my words and actions to bring life to others or death to others.Proverbs 18:21 Ouch! See....? Can I be trusted?

What will I bring to my home today? What will you bring to your home today?

More than beautifully decorated interiors, or the latest trendy paint color. What are we choosing?

Life, I want life.

Well, I'm off to get that haircut. Long, short? I have no idea....I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Update.... I went shorter! Thanks Annie :-)
