Choice

So far this morning:

1. I chose to hit snooze for another ten minutes, thus resulting in running late.
2. I decided what to wear to work...a choice.
3. I washed my face and brushed my teeth.....a choice.
4. Took Ollie outside for his bathroom break.....a choice.
5. I chose which route to take to work.
6. Then I decided what to listen to as I drove.....a choice.
7. I chose which space to park in when I arrived at work.
8. I went to the cafeteria and chose what I would eat for breakfast.
9. Then I chose to eat at my desk.
10. And took the stairs instead of the elevator to get there.....a choice.
11. I chose to check my email.
12. Then chose not to go on facebook for another day.
13. Sent out a few text messages.....a choice.
14. I chose to respond to some emails.
15. Decided to post on my blog... a choice.
16. Chose to write about choices.

Every breathing moment of my day I am making choices. To sit, stand, walk, bend over, open, close, chew, call, pick up my phone, email, text, make a copy, run water, cook, clean, check my mail, feed Ollie, take out the garbage, lock my apartment, alarm my car, drive my car....etc.

Choices I made years ago, that I considered "little" or no big deal, still affect me to this day. They have shaped who I am, and will forever be a part of my life story.

If there is one thing that I hope to impart on the young ladies in my youth group, it would be:

The Power of Choice.

The choices you make everyday shape who you are, and will affect your life forever - good or bad. Always choose prayerfully & carefully, weighing out all of your options.

Every choice you make matters.

Even the little ones......especially the little ones.

"There is a choice you make in everything you do.

And you must always keep in mind, the choice you

make, makes you." ~ Unknown
