Thought for Today: Choices..... There have been major benefits of not thinking about my own problems...one of them being how it becomes so much easier to survive when you arent focusing on your own survival but on helping others thrive. Another major decision I had to make was whether I was simply going to be a survivor, barely making it through each day, or whether I was going to be an overcomer. An overcomer doesnt give up, they dont get discouraged. They keep fighting. I chose to be an overcomer. Every day when I wake up I ask the Lord for enough strength to overcome everything, not just survive through it. Every moment we have a choice to let life overwhelm us, get the best of us, discourage us, or we can choose joy, which is given by trusting solely in God. Because you can be at the lowest point in your life, but still experience joy. Because I chose joy, disappointments no longer have a grip on me. Joy changes you. Joy has made me a permanently happy person. I can see the positive and the humorous things in absolutely anything now. So as I finish this up, I invite you to also feel the joy that I have felt. God gives it freely to us and wants us to grab hold so desperately...we just have to make the choice to receive it. It is well. Megan Becker It Is Well Blog Email: megbecker23@gmail
