Choices

In our life, we will all be faced with choices we have to make, whether it be big choices, or small choices. Sometimes we have choices that we don't want to face, and some are very easy to make. Now I have a question, what makes you decide what to do? Do you just pick the easy choice? Or do you pick the best choice?
Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the choices I make. Everything from deciding on what wear one day, to deciding what I want to major in when I go to college. Just last year I made the biggest choice in my whole entire life. And that choice was to build a relationship with Jesus. This decision will be by far the most difficult and rewarding choice you will ever make. You cant have any help from anyone with this either. This will need 100% independancy. And I have to say, I didn't decide this over night. What actually lead me to making this decision was years and years of tough choices. I was, needless to say, a mean person. I made a choice to make fun of kids in my school, to yell at my mom almost every day at home. I don't know what made me do the things I did, but one day I had enough of myself. I was sick of my attitude, and I wanted a change. It took me a while, and it was the hardest thing to ever do, but I made a commitment to God. I started out slow, just praying 5 minutes a day, and then when I was fully ready I went to reading the bible every night. This journey left me confused from day to day, wondering what God wants from me. I guess I assumed that once you make the decision of serving God then He will make your life easier. Wrong. What I didn't know was, that God was testing me. He wanted to see how far I would go to still follow in His path. The bad thing was, I didn't know that at the time, I started sinking into sadness. I started getting angry at God. But I never quit. I kept going, I still had a tiny ounce of hope left. Then after a long, hard journey, the Lord turned my life around. I'm still on this journey with the Lord, and some days a are harder than others, but it's really fulfilling to have Him in your life. That's when I realized sometimes the best decision isn't always the easiest. And if you wait long enough, He will bring you happiness.
