So, for the past couple of nights, I have been looking for Bible verses that have to do with J-HLP (I call it "Jesus Help!" Don't steal it. If it works, I may use it as a learning tool one day); joy, healing, life and praise. I have chosen one verse for each theme every night, so they can help me throughout the day. So, for the first "life" index card, I chose this verse:
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!
(Deuteronomy 30:19)
So, I decided to choose life. I know people would ask, "Well, why would you choose death anyway?" Well, death is easier. You don't have to do anything if you're dead. You can even stop breathing (haha). But choosing life means I have to let God clear out all the cobwebs, skeletons, dust bunnies and the like. All the dead stuff. And because I have had those things for so long, I've gotten used to them. And though they may seem like crap, you become accustomed to them. Its like living in a city with smog. If you live there all your life, you get used to it. Then you get out into the country, with fresh air, and you think it smells funny. You want to go back to the city where the air smells "normal" to you.
So I choose life. The air may smell funny for awhile, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
I wanna go take pictures of stuff on my way back. The buildings get smaller as I leave downtown and the bluebonnets get more abundant.
