Choices

"I am the Light of the world"...

I've always believed that where we are today is a direct result of the choices that we make on a daily basis... That means that I am totally responsible for my circumstances.... Cause and effect.

That's why I've been trying to put myself and my choices under the microscope latley... I can't afford to mess up.... I can't even afford a tank of gas.

Anyway, God has brought me to California. My family and I picked up everything we could fit into our "POD" and left. That was a big choice.

Now we're here, and I want to do this right. For the first time (well, second time really) in my life I feel like the slate has been wiped clean, and I can let God take control. I want to be guided by His Wisdom, not my own. Scripture says that the wisdom of man is like foolishness to God. I would rather seem foolish to the world... So here I am God.

When the time came to choose CA, I immediatley thought about a song I used to listen to several years ago. If you get the chance, please check out David Wilcox. If you listen to death metal, or gangsta rap, you might not "get it", but I think this song is brilliant.

HOLD IT UP TO THE LIGHT

It's the choice of a lifetime - I'm almost sure
I will not live my life in between anymore
If I can't be certain of all that's in store
This far it feels so right
I will hold it up - hold it up to the light,
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light

The search for my future has brought me here
This is more than I'd hoped for, but sometimes I fear
That the choice I was made for will someday appear
And I'll be too late for that flight
So hold it up - hold it up to the light,
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light

It's too late - to be stopped at the crossroads
Each life here - a possible way
But wait - and they all will be lost roads
Each road's getting shorter the longer I stay

Now as soon as I'm moving - my choice is good
This way comes through right where I prayed that it would
If I keep my eyes open and look where I should
Somehow all of the signs are in sight
If I hold it up to the light

I said God, will you bless this decision?
I'm scared, Is my life at stake?
But I see if you gave me a vision
Would I never have reason to use my faith?

I was dead with deciding - afraid to choose
I was mourning the loss of the choices I'd lose
But there's no choice at all if I don't make my move
And trust that the timing is right
Yes and hold it up hold it up to the light
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light
