Joshua 24:15  “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” 

My wife Rachelle serves as a nursing home administrator.  Because of her role I often hear stories from the lives of those she serves.  This unique perspective has provided a pipeline of wisdom and experience into our family.  Everyday she hears the joys, regrets, and reflections of those who look back and remember.

 Have you ever felt stuck in a decision? At times, we can feel paralyzed by the choices we have to make everyday! What we wear, what we eat, career and family choices all take energy and have significant implications on our lives. This can lead us to ask: “How can I make better choices in my life?”

2 Chronicles 12:7-8: When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, this word of the Lord came to Shemaiah: "Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will soon give them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.  They will, however, become subject to him, so that they may learn the difference between serving me and serving the kings of other lands."

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
