Scripture Challenge CHOICE

Hey, everyone!

This is my first official Scripture Challenge Digital scrapbook page for 2010! I am picking up right where I left off last year and I am dedicated to finishing this challenge! I am very excited about where it is taking me! Today's Scripture Challenge page is all about choices! Every choice we make has a consequence to it. Some choices have good consequences and other choices leave us facing repercussions that last a lifetime!! I tell my daughter life is all about choices. You get to choose! You have the power inside of you to choose right or wrong, good or bad! We all make mistakes and we don't always make the best choices in life, but I think it is so liberating just to know that the choice is ultimately ours! We can listen to friends and family, our pastor or youth leader, maybe even a co-worker or complete stranger! The choice will always be ours to decide! Here is my scrapbook page:


My journaling says:

I was the kid who never got picked for dodgeball or basketball at school. I was definitely not athletic and was always last to be chosen for teams. I have a lot of friends but few that I have chosen to share a lot of myself with. It's so humbling to know that God chose me before I could choose Him. He waited for me. He picked me! I am God's choice and I am glad I chose to serve Him!

The poem I included is the one by Roy Lessin in my sidebar. It's not exactly a poem, as much as it is an inspirational quote. As a teenager, a wonderful female evangelist kept in contact with me. She lived in Florida and I in Indiana. She sent me a beautiful card with THIS very verse on the front and I remember just being blown away! No one ever told me God felt that way about me before and I was so humbled to know that He cared for me! It was so motivating to me to keep learning more about God and becoming a friend of His. It helped me learn to seek a relationship with Him. I am so glad that I did because my choice is to follow Christ!

Angel Hugs,
