Choices

Good Morning !! So Discipline once again is my new word and theme. Yesterday I had a great discipline day....loved it, was encouraged, it felt good. Today so far I had to drag myself out of my bed......Trev has been up for a hour he has taken out all the garbage, all the recyling, put laundry on, made me tea....while I am still dragging.....well it feels like dragging. Anyhow I was wondering and pondering how does one get disciplined.....my answer.....it's a choice.
Darn...I was so hoping for instant change, like Mary Poppins says "a spoon full of sugar helps the discipline go away!!" How great life would be. But reality is ..... it's a choice. Yep a choice. Isn't it funny how so many things in our life is based on our choices. There are choices to have a good attitude or a bad attitude. We can choose joy in any circumstanses. We choice to listen to our thoughts or take on the mind of Christ! We choose to get out of bed and be happy or we can choose to get out of bed and be grumpy. Choices. Then there are choices that are everyday little things like what to wear, what to eat, what to listen to..... Good choices and bad choices. So discipline is a choice, a ongoing choice....every descision I make today will be etiher a disiplined choice or a lazy choice. It will be a positive choice or a negative choice.
So with discilpine in conection with fear....You have to choose to be discilpined and take control of you thoughts, your life.
So in saying all this I have a choice right now........
Today I am disciplined. Today I am choosing discilpine. Today I am choosing joy. Today I am walking in Grace. Today I am choosing peace. Today I am victorious!
Father God thank you for your discipline. Thank you for your joy! Thank you for you grace, peace. FAther thank you that you never give us anything we can not handle or deal with. Father you are awesome and I love you very much.

New challenge for everyone especially myself.......to choose discipline in ALL areas of my day ! Remember there is grace, but that's not an excuse to not keep going!! That's just a choice!


Be Blessed!
