It is a good thing in life to know that you have choices, it is a sign that you are on the right track. I know that when I screw up my choices get to be very few very quickly and that is never a good thing. It is important to remember that we always have choices to make and they will always revolve around our values and intentions.
In being in recovery from drugs, alcohol and being abused, I learned that I always had choices to do the right thing or make things worse. The only thing that stopped me from making good choices was fear. Fear of what would happen to me or the people that I cared about, if I made the right choice. If I left an abusive relationship would I fall flat on my face and loose my kids or would it be better to stay and let my kids see their dad being abused.
Maybe if I did the right thing she would change and it would get better. Fear ruled my life for so long and controled all aspects of my life. "What if", became the prision that I lived in and many people I truly loved paid a heavy price for the prision of my life. Yet as my faith grew and my understanding of God changed, I grew stronger. I learned perhaps the most important lesson of all and that is that with God I am never alone.
This knowledge helped me grow even stronger, strong enough to push fear to the side. When I could finally push fear aside I was able to have a clear head and make good choices again. I allowed people into my life that I could trust and that brought something positive to the table. We all have issues and problems and the choices we make can make them better or worse. I hope that our faith guides us in making good choices and that or fear will no longer be able to enslave us. Have a great day all and God Bless, I love you all.
