HELLO?

I should have seen it coming. Really I should have. You can't very well name your blog " I choose" - put it out there for all the world to see- and not expect to have several opportunities come up where I get to choose. I just did not really expect them to happen within 24 hours of each other much less 24 minutes. So pray for me - Choices are hard sometimes. The flesh does not die easily.

on a lighter note

2 things I learned over the past week

First - do not tell the animal shelter personnel at the pet store that you would "shoot the dog yourself"... I mean that is like walking through the zoo and naming off the animals you would like to hunt and have mounted in your trophy room ....... oh wait -- never mind.



Second - no, you are not supposed to eat the "pills" they give you when you have hemorrhoids. Public education will teach you a lot:)



Have a blessed day in the Lord's house tomorrow. Remember, it is HIS house, not man's (& I say this for myself as much as anyone). Rejoice in the day the Lord has made.

Stepping out

Welcome to the blog. As weird as it sounds, the ability to do this is an answered prayer (those who are close to me will know this to be true). I would love to tell you that I know what this blog is going to be about - but I don't. I do know I lay it down as a tool for Jesus Christ. Tears in my eyes even now-if I can point you to Him, encourage you in Him, and make you laugh & cry along the way - job done.
To tell you a little about me- I have two boys - whom I will refer to as man child 1 & man child 2 (for my own piece of mind- I tend to worry) and a wonderful husband who we will call Hunter Hubby (he'll hate it but so very true!) At the present time I teach in a high school so I get A LOT of time with teenagers. (Side note- pray for the ones you know. They so want to be loved and know they are valued). Just started writing some bible studies -only in house stuff- we will see where God takes that. It is His - He can go where He pleases with it.
Why call it "I choose"? Over the past few years that has been the overarching message God has put in my life. I choose who I will follow, how I will follow, what I will do. I choose who is Lord in my life. I choose, for I am chosen (1 Peter 2:4).
So I am glad you are along for the journey. It will be exciting- life with Christ always is. Thanks for checking in.
