It’s a Choice

It's a choice.

It's a choice to say yes.

It's a choice to follow Christ.

It's a choice believe the truths God says about my life.

It's a choice to break free the lies I've thought were true for so long.

It's a choice to go.

But most importantly, the choice is mine to make.  Mine alone.  No one else can make it for me.  Not my parents, not my siblings, not my friends, not my team mates, not my squad mates, or anyone else from my community.  The choice is all mine and it's between me and God alone.  

I am choosing to break free from the chains surrounding my life.

Actually, that's not true.  I am choosing to let go of them.  Christ broke the chains for me when He died on the cross.  Until now, it's been my choice to continue to hold onto those broken chains.  But now I am letting go.  

I am choosing to walk in the freedom Christ gave me when He died for me.  

And I chose to go.  

I was called to go on the World Race.  There is no other explanation.  It doesn't make sense any other way.  Why else would I walk away from a college degree that is unfinished and amazing family and friends as a sick girl with a mystery illness?

God said none of that mattered.  He said the World Race is a small part in His divine love story for me and He was calling me to go.

But I made the choice.

It all comes down to a choice.  

What will you choose?
