Choices

Tenth Avenue North has a song entitled, You Are More.  A-m-a-z-i-n-g message.  Struck me the first time I heard it.

You are more than the choices that you’ve made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You’ve been remade.

 

Over and over the past few weeks it has played through my mind every time I heard of someone’s bad choice–or wrong “timed” choice-

I remembered my own bad choices.

Wrong timed choices.

Stupid choices.

But then, there was a choice that I made that changed my forever.  My God choice.

When He called, I answered.  My final answer–affecting my forever choice.

A while back, I had lunch with someone dear to my heart and through the conversation –I began to see a picture.  I came back and finished editing one I had taken last fall while on a weekend of “rest”.

The bridge had been ruined with years of graffiti –but it still stood. Thankfully, a good photo shop editing took care of the graffiti.  I added words and a sprinkling of snow…(if you know me–you know I love snow).

I leave you with the picture–and an encouragement to look UP.

He’s guiding. 2013-11-01 2013 Bridges2014-1
Pay attention.

Burn only the bridges that have led you the wrong way.
