Choices In Life Are Yours

April 16, 2018 Heidi Benson

Encouragement Today and Motivation Monday

Today’s Encouragement is a reminder to examine the choices you are making in life. Everyone makes a choice that will determine how well their day will go or how well life is going.

“Busy is a choice, stress is a choice, joy is a choice, choose well.”

Today is a great day to look at the choices you are making. Look at the busyness and stress in your life and determine if you are happy with the choices you are making.

My friend, if you are busy, but you do not like it, start saying no to some activities. It is not only okay to say no, it is healthy to say no. This is a choice, it is your choice.

Stand strong if you see stress has consumed you as a result constant conflict. Allow yourself the time to breathe and make the choice to be happy despite everything that is going on. Make the choice to remain happy even if your circumstances want to rob you of this joy.

Everything in life boils down to a series of choices. You can choose to remain strong or cave into the pressure. You can choose to remain calm when stress wants to consume you. You can choose to retain a slower life when busyness wants to consume your every minute.

My friend, do not let the powers of life rob you of your ability to make choices. They are yours and yours only. Stand strong and stand firm and do not allow anything to rob you of your choices you make in your life.

Stand strong, be firm, and be bold. Your choices are yours only!

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army. While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom. The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about. As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing." Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
