We are living in a time right now where there are so many choices to choose from. There is a little something for everyone's taste. If someone disagrees with a particular principle, they can choose another that will fit their own desires. I know the saying "Choose God's Way" sounds like a cliche, but it is more than just that. The word "choose" means that there is a choice that can be made. You have the opportunity to make up your own mind, and it is your responsibility to choose wisely. God has a way- Jesus Christ. When you choose God's way, you're choosing His Son, who IS the way, the truth, and the life. When you choose God's way, you are making a decision to follow Him, WHEREVER HE leads you and are willing to pray and wait for His leading. Choose God's way. Decide which way you are going to live your life in 2012. Either you will follow Him or not. It is up to you to choose. Hopefully, you will choose God's way.

James 4: 10 states, "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up" (NIV). As we approach this new year, my prayer is that each one of us will do the "self-inventory" check. Have we done the things God has told us to do in 2011? Have we loved and treated our neighbors as God would have us to do? Have we allowed God to change our "worldview" of how we view ourselves and others? Before we go into this new year, truly pray and seek God for direction in your life. Humble your opinions, your thoughts, and your tongue and seek Him. I believe He will answer you. 2012 is the year of great expectation. Let us humble ourselves before God, submit ourselves to Him, and allow HIm to lead us in His perfect will. God bless and Happy New Year.

...sometimes in life we might go looking in a certain location and don't find what we are looking for; however, when we step back and look in the same location but from a different angle, we might find just what we were originally looking for. Therefore, sometimes in life what we need is right in front of us, but we just have to do a paradigm shift and look at the same picture from a different angle.

Furthermore, I have come to understand that I shouldn't let what I am presently dealing with dictate what I will or won't do for God. In the end of it all, I ended up doing exactly what I had told God I didn't feel like doing, but I walked away from the situation refreshed, rejuvenated, and re-inspired to continue on in my journey.

God doesn't want anything to hold us back from what He has predestined for our lives. He doesn't want us to hang onto hurt and pain but wants us to let go of ANYthing that keeps us from 'running' this race.
