It has been an emotional roller coaster around here. (Even the cats have been fighting and I've had to separate them!) I've never been a huge fan of roller coasters and I hate the emotional ones even more than the real ones. But I've been an up and down and all around physical and emotional mess.

I called a friend today just to touch base. As soon as I got them on the phone, they said, "I only have a minute ..." Honestly, I could have taken that two ways.

1. He doesn't have time for me.

2. He only has a minute and has chosen to spend that minute on me!

Somehow, even in the midst of sleep deprivation, I'm choosing the second. It feels significantly better than the first. And given my history with him, it is probably the more accurate of the two. I know he would have given me more than a minute if he had the time and that is where his heart lies.

It did get me thinking about the choices we make. Sometimes we just feel badly because we just feel badly. That is all there is to it. Other times we exaggerate it by the choices we make. Can you see in my example how number one would have made things worse? And it is far from who this person is.

I still feel blah and out of sorts and overly tired and have a headache and all... but in making that mental choice I feel cared for rather than abandoned. That, for me is huge.

Is there a place in your life where there is a choice to be made in how you see something?

God's totally working in my life right now... And I find I'm choosing positive rather than negative like I use to, I'm learning to just get on with life and totally live it all for God! He's done sooo much in my life and I need to stop living for myself and start living for Him.

We choose everyday, who we want to be!
