The Choices We Make Today, Define Our Tomorrows

Choices are not to be made lightly. I say this rather tongue-in-cheek. I have learned in my life that every choice has a consequence. When most people hear this, they immediately think this is bad. Not true. Consequences are the the after effects. While the are bad consequences, there are also good ones. It is up to us though to make sure that we assess our situations before turning to Heavenly Father to help us make said decisions. 

There have been times in my life where I have received a clear cut answer to a question. Then there was last year. My wife and I found out rather quickly that we were getting evicted from a house that we were renting to own. My wife and I struggled to make that payments every month and knew that something needed to change. The owner decided to put the house back on the market and that only left my family and I a couple of weeks to find another place to live. I prayed to Heavenly Father to soften the heart of the owner of the house to let us stay there. I didn't feel like I had gotten the answer I want, yet I followed His council. Heavenly Father told me that we needed to move, so move we did.

Looking back, it was one of the best decision we could have made. While we went from a 3 bed 2.5 bath house to a 2 bed 1 bath apartment, we have truly been blessed. We have been able to use the extra money we saved on rent costs and clean up our credit. I told my wife to give me two years and we would be able to buy a house and not have to rent. Because of our decision to move last year, we should be able to get a house to call our own in a few months. It is no secret what God can do as long as we decide to listen.
