Someone recently posted the words, “Choose your hard”.
She was referring to those of trying to make healthy choices for ourselves.
Exercising, eating clean, and avoiding sugar.
Sometimes doing the right thing is difficult and we want to cave, but we know in the long run it is worth it.
She meant choose your hard in reference to health, but those words could be applied to many circumstances in life.
Are the choices we are making today, going to be beneficial to us in the future?
Are we doing the hard things, the right things, even when the world is tempting us to “Just do it!”?
It isn’t always easy. Honestly, most days aren’t easy at all.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

I just read an Ann Voskamp blog where she says similar things about making the hard choices…”We do hard and holy things when it’d be easier to just go do happy things.”
I have been thinking all week about the tasks before me and choosing to do the hard
and holy thing vs the less hard and less holy thing.
Meg,
Yes, indeed! Life is full of the hard choices and our decisions do make a difference.
