Lately I've been challenged with the idea of crossroads and the importance of making the right choice (thanks to Kay Arthur). A crossroad is simply a choice as to what direction we will take. Every day we all face crossroads in our lives; little or big, they are there. I know I often don't put as much thought into a decision as I should. In a fast pace society like we live in, it is so easy for me to make a choice without thinking about the consequences that may follow. I hate that!

My biggest challenge has been in knowing if I'm making the right choice or not; if I'm taking the right path. In the big scheme of things, I am reassured in knowing that at least one path I've chosen is right because of Matthew 7:13. But what about every other decision in life? (Now as a side note, I've never been an assertive person. And I've always been the type to want other people to make the decision for me. Just tell me what to do and I'm happy!). But unfortunately, as an adult I must make choices for myself. Lame! :)

I have to admit that lately, I've made a lot of wrong choices. I realize now it's because I've been running to other people for help, and putting my trust in them; instead of running to God (and that is not an easy lesson to learn!). He may be a big God, but I'm learning that He is willing to give guidance on every single little decision I must make. As Kay Arthur puts it: "when you go straight to the word of God yourself to discover what it says, what it means, and how you are to line up your thinking and behavior with truth- you begin observing the things that are the easiest to see". In other words, God reveals to us the direction we should go. I'm so thankful to God for being patient with me while I continue to learn how to put this learned lesson into action.
