I am up early and couldn't stop thinking about our choices. We have so many that we make. Some we shouldn't have and others we should have and some we did. My heart is screaming about the ability to choose as being a gift from our Creator. When He created life in man, he put in us this great gift. We are not animals as many have tried to teach us. Animals do there thing out of pure instinct. That is why some dogs are hard to potty train or even control. We were never meant for that kind of life. Some scholars would say we are no better then animals and our behaviors are animalistic. This maybe true only because we are giving ourselves permission to be so. Our design with choice, was a marvel.
My thought is that some of us are living reckless with these gifts ever since. Each one of us has this gift. How well do we exercise the great power of this gift. We make chooses all the time, everyday and every moment. Some of mine have been great and some......not so much. My concern is that this gift is being taken away by our government, FDA and whatever else acronym is out there. The FDA is in the pocket of the Monsanto corporation. The FDA is allowing them to put a new chemical sweetener in our food and products without proper labeling. There should be labels on everything. We should be allowed to make the decision on what and how much we consume. Many of us have begun reading the labels on our food and making choices about it's content. This must have had an impact because they are now trying to get around the labeling. Why are some things good for us to be able to make choices like pro-choice. They say we should have the right to choose an abortion but we can't pick our own food sources. This is so messed up! We can choose to give life or take it away, but we can't choose which stewed tomatoes we want to buy. Both choices are based on money and how you spend it.
I was thinking about the abortion issue and how it has affected so many lives. Having an abortion can leave a woman with deep emotional scares. I gave up a child because I was afraid I couldn't take care of it. So...ironically...I choose not to care for it. Crazy!! I did what I was afraid of and choose to not take care of it and protect it. People are all up in arms about cancer and it's killing of millions of people. Where is there concern about the millions that die to abortion every year. Is death not just death no matter how you look at it? Cancer is a killer and so is abortion there is no getting around it. I am not saying these things as a hypocrite, but someone forgiven. I seriously wonder if the people in charge of these companies eat the food they contaminate? Or if....they grow and eat from the seeds they manufacture? These things way heavy on my heart.
I know that God is for us and He wants us to prosper and multiply. I think that our choices have everything to do with how we do it. Do we choose to put our heads in the sand or stand and fight back? Do we spread the news of what is happening in our country or ignore and let these thing continue to go as they have? I don't mean fighting back as in blowing up buildings or shooting someone. No Way!! I mean talking about it, getting angry about, looking at options, making decisions, change things, voting and being proactive on current issues. These are choices we are making everyday. I personally want to be responsible for my choices. I have made some bad ones and will continue to do so, but my prayer is that God will give me wisdom in how to make them in my future.
