Choices.

One word, ugh. I am just in a mind boggle right now. So many choices, in so little time. We are so living in a tough time. I have been having the overwhelmingness of so much. This has got to be one of the craziest posts ever. I am not being specific for private reasons. I just need to get these things together. Anyways.
We live in a world of choices. It can be easy at times, then other times, hard. But we have to chose. Then not to decide is to decide. So, everything is a choice. Whatever that choice may be, we have to live with the results of the choice. May it be good or bad. We still have to live with it. I had to make a few big choices today. Some difficult. I was torn between two choices. I even made out a pro and con list. Who actually does that any more these days. My husband and I have been praying about this choice for a long time now. But today, today was the day for the choice to be made. It was hard. But was made. We are going to move into a trailer. A 14x80 trailer. It is nice, and very small. We currently live in a 2 story home with 4 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. We also have a huge pole barn in our yard. Which is very nice for storage. We are moving into a trailer that has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with no storage. We can put a shed on the lot next to the trailer. But currently we do not have a shed to put there. I have so much purging to do. We have a lot of things that I have packed, but am going to have to go through again. A big task, but it has to be done.
Then another choice. I had to chose not to get a few things that I knew we would use daily, but I am currently living with out them now, so it wont be any different than what I am used to. Do you ever have to do that. Chose to chose not to get something, even though that something would greatly help your daily tasks. Then knowing if you did get that something, you would need that money the next week for something you have to pay. I am thinking it is getting deep in this post.
Okay, through all these choices. What have I been taught today? I think I am going to have to get back to that question tomorrow. I am not ready to answer that yet.
For the next few weeks. I am going to be purging, packing, caring for my children and husband. Leaning very heavily on Jesus Christ to carry me through it all. What else can I do?
I am still recovering from surgery. I have to wait another week till I can exercise. My poor family. Exercise does amazing things for my mood. It makes me a more energetic, happy, loving, non grouchy lady. Whew. Just pray for me please!
Currently, my son, Colin who is 2yrs, needs extra cuddles from me. Which I understand since I have been unable to pick him up or hold him for almost 2 weeks. But, my wounds are still sore. I have to push through the pain to hold my son. It will get better. One day at a time.
I am going to lay it all to God. I know I can not carry the weight of all the choices that have to be made. But I am finding peace and strength through my Lord. He is carrying me, I am letting Him carry me.
P.S. I dedicate this post to all my loved ones who have to make choices. Let Him carry you!

Oh Michelle! That post sounds so much like me. I DON'T like choices! But everything we do is a choice. Aren't you thankful that our Lord is sovereign and He orders our steps?
