This week has been a classic example in my life. And today God has been bringing it up again and again. I believe He wants me to learn a lesson from it. Since, as an educator, I believe that more ways you experience a lesson the better you learn that lesson, I will also be processing and writing out my experiences. Hopefully it will make sense and maybe you will get something out of it too.
Sunday wasn't a good day for me. You see I was on that sinking sand. I was believing the lies the enemy was speaking into my ears. But as Cheri pointed out so eloquently, believing that perception was coloring my view of everything. I was not a happy camper nor very pleasant to be around.
Yet after a good night's sleep, one in which the baby slept through the night, I had a whole new perception on Monday. I made the choice to have a better outlook and day, and guess what I did. I made a choice to lean on that Solid Rock and believe Him. It was a much better day. Things that would have been over the top for me to handle on Sunday, didn't bother me on Monday. And I didn't just survive the day, I enjoyed it.
This morning presented yet another choice and I am choosing a similar path to Monday's and it is working out well. The principal at the last school I taught paraphrased this popular verse in this was "This is the day that the Lord has made and I will CHOOSE to rejoice in it" It is all about choice people, all about choice.
