Do you know how I am able to be joyful even when my basement has water pouring into it?

Deuteronomy 31:19B, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse.

I Tell you CHOOSE LIFE in order that you my live! 

The first time I ever really tried this concept was when my husband confessed something God was after him to expose to the light. For the first time in my life I knew I had a choice. I could be upset and angry or forgive and be happy.

I thought what it would look like to be angry.  I have been there and done that and I didn’t want to live that way anymore.

I DECIDED TO CHOOSE to FORGIVE!

What took me by surprise is the JOY I was FILLED WITH!

I could not keep it to myself! At work the Joy kept spilling out and I told everyone how wonderful it was to forgive!

Back to today, after the water stopped flowing last Monday, when we were heading to bed I choose to read Philippians 4:4-9 for our nightly devotions.

4. Rejoice in the LORD always, again I say rejoice!

6. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer an supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God

7. And the Peace of God -shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

8. Finally, brethren, what ever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.

We just happened to have our devotional book say the same thought.

Proverbs 4:23 (NCV) Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.

I HOPE you catch the idea of choosing what you think and how you want to live.

2 Corinthians 10:5, Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

I enjoy my life even when it feels like everything is against us, much of my life has been lived in fear of everything and laughing was not common.

I Choose to See the Good!

God Is Good! God Bless You
