A Place of Choice

As I reflect on nearly a year ago, I realize how much growth has taken place with my job, and mindset about everything. I know I have certainly matured, however, I wonder sometimes that the maturity that I have gained was it something that was momentary or permanently. I still have times when my desires of future ideas, hopes and dreams are prominent and that is what I am aiming for, but then I read a story like Joseph and all that he went through and I catch myself asking, "am I pursuing my dreams or God's reality?" and the bigger question I ask myself, "which one is more important?"

As of now I am standing at the crossroads of hard choices, do I embrace the reality that God has placed in my life and work through the grind of everyday (not just job, but also home and routine of life) or do I contemplate all other options? I know what I should do but to be honest, it seems/feels so boring and repetitive. I suppose every Christian follower goes through these moments.

So what now? I know what I should do and I know what it will take, do I let go of all that pride that lives within me and truly LET IT GO so that I can honor God? YES and YES again. Letting go of your pride is by far the hardest choice to make as a Christian. So that is a relief but that is just one area of life that is being transformed, what about others? That is another blog in its self. :)

Ecclesiastes 7:8
Something completed is better than something just begun; patience is better than too much pride.
