Healthy Choices

Life is not easy, I bet you never knew that! (smile)

I find Life to be full of choices and I am always seeking God to help me make wise choices for myself. I have made many bad choices in the past that have hurt my loved ones. I do not want to walk that way anymore!

Just a few minutes ago I found myself having to make one of those choices! I heard an invisible voice say: 'Who will know?' ; 'Who will care?'; 'It is the only way you can get the benefits.'; 'It is only a website!'

Let me explain. I am always looking for good graphics online and I am about to teach a sign language class, so I have been spending more time online looking for deaf related graphics. I learned of a website today that has many good graphics, even deaf ecards, and the opportunity to interact with deaf people around the world....so of course I went to the website. It is a dating website. I am happily married and desire to stay that way.

Well I began to fill out the required form so I could obtain the benefits....then I came to the place where I had to make a choice: Do I want to meet a man, a woman, or a couple?

Well I do not want to meet anyone for the purpose they are talking about. For about two seconds I pondered what to do: "What would it hurt to just fill out the form?" But I am not looking for a partner, so it would be dishonest to who I am.

Since it was required to make a selection, I closed the site and praised God that HE gave me the strength to do what was RIGHT.

Would it have hurt anything to have filled out the form and just gotten my graphics? I will never know. But I must tell you there is much peace in my heart for having made this decision.

We all must protect ourselves, our minds, our hearts, our bodies, and our marriage at all times.

This was only a very small thing, and it took all of about ten minutes in whole- but I feel like a Giant! I know that today I voted a YES for my marriage! I know that I made a wise choice. Thank you Jesus.
