I went to New Life Center last night and the sermon went over the life of Joshua. He made the right choices when he came to crossroads in his life. I know that he made bad choices along the way but over all he went the direction that God wanted him to go. When I get to heaven one thing that I want to see is where I missed the mark or went a different direction then where God wanted me to go. I wonder how many times I was supposed to place a comma in my life but I place a period. I wonder how many times God wanted me to place a period in my life but I left it as a comma. What I got out of Pastor Ron's sermon on Wednesday was that some people have pity parties while others make a mistake and then pick themselves up and go on. I know that Pastor Ron would not like to hang around me because I like to have pity parties and just stay there. Marijo told me on Wednesday that she would like to see me grow where I am planted. I know that for me I have wanted to be like a weed. Be planted in one location and then when the winds come it blows me some where else. I kept wanting to get blown until I was where I wanted to be. One thing that Pastor James mentioned was that summer was a time of change I believe. What he used as examples are those that will be going off to school or starting a new job. You have to get prepared for this change. He told us that some will be going through a change and we have to be prepared for it. I know in all the times I have complained about Bakersfield that I have never been ready for a change. I complain but then I do not get my life in order so that if God wanted to make a change that I would be ready for it. I know that when people get involved at church or else where that I make excuses or even let life pass right on by. One verse in the living bible translation was Ecclesiastes 11:4 that says If you wait for perfect conditions, you'll never get any thing done. Below is what C.H.O.I.C.E stands for.
C.larify God's Plan For My Life
H.ave Confidence In my New Direction
O.wn The Decision
I.mprove From My Failures
C.ling To God's Promises
