Choosing

Last night I had one of those rare nights of insomnia. Yay for getting to watch all of season 1 of "Call the Midwife". I finally fell asleep about 6am this morning. Woke up at 8am to get ready for the day. All morning I've felt like I'm on the edge. Like everything is just waiting to explode. Being honest; keeping it real. I tried my hardest to be calm and patient as I took my children on a trek through Target. As we were home and I was dividing out breakfast, I thought, "This is going to be a rough day!" with an extra long sigh for emphasis. 

Definitely- it could go that way.

But then I thought, "you choose". I believe that I have the very same Spirit living inside of me that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. If he's powerful enough to do that, surely He's powerful enough to change my perspective and attitude. It was amazing the mental shift. The obvious change in direction that took place was overwhelming. I'm sure I will have to avail myself of His power through this day, as I should every moment, but the reminder that it is all about my choice has stuck in my brain and heart....again. Lessons being repeated as usual. 

We all have the power to choose. We are made in His image.
