Alrighty, now that that's out of the way, on to the devotional!! For today, I am going to discuss the devotional from Wednesday of last week which uses 1 Corinthians 15:54. Decisions decisions decisions. Life seems to be full of them. What I really got from this was the fact that when we are filled with fear, we don't act on decisions and fail to realize that no matter what we will be celebrating with a vibrant dance of spiritual freedom with Christ.
I can be quite indecisive at times and most recently this had to do with where I am going to be living for the next few years. You see, with the passing of my grandmother early last year, my mom and I inherited her house. Only 7 months later I also inherited the condo that my mom and I had lived in for 10 years. Up until now the plan had always been to sell the condo and fix up the house so I would be content living there. Some of you may know that on May 14th some friends and family were to come over and help me complete the move from the condo to the house but then that was cancelled last minute. I had been trying to pack at the condo and realized that I couldn't. I got scared because I had spent most of my life there. I love the condo and was terrified to let go of all that was there to move to a place that I couldn't stand. Therefore, my family left it up to me to decide where to live. After a couple weeks I have prayed about it and thought about it constantly and the condo has won.
However, there was one thing I never thought of. God. I was constantly focusing on the pros and cons of living at each place. I failed to realize that wherever I am at, God will be there too, right by my side. I failed to completely trust him. I need God just as much as the next person. If I don't trust him with something like this then where is that going to get me.
Time to decide to trust Him, to love Him whole-heartedly. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and strength."
A little disclaimer: Some people might think,"Well you get to choose where you want to live and your only 19. You get to be on your own and have it easy." FALSE. I don't want a pity party but I definitely don't want people thinking the wrong thing. I never wanted this to happen. Don't want to get rid of either place because technically I grew up in both homes. Don't think I have it all together. Moving back to the condo and selling the house is nothing more than just a stepping stone to who I am supposed to be. Please don't get the wrong impression.
