The Secret Life of a Christian Teenage Girl

Joshua 24:15

Scripture:
Joshua 24:15
"But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."

Think:
At one point, we will have to choose. We will have to make a decisions. But what if we make the wrong one?

My Description:
I feel wind pass by me blowing my hair. I quickly snap my eyes open and take in my surroundings. I'm on a cloud? In the middle of the cloud I see....black tape? It's separating two sides of the cloud.

My left foot on one side, and my right foot on another. On my left side I see darkness. But there is something about it that is calling out to me. Like it wants me to come to it. I catch myself leaning towards it but I quickly straighten myself up. I watch the side longer, it seems that it can make me happy but I feel it won't last forever.

But on my right I see purity, and happiness. It's peaceful like a dream. It makes me smile, everything about it makes me smile. I look straight ahead and see the tapes continue but I see it stops and I have to choose which path.

I walk down to where it ends. I need to choose my path. But which one ? One seems as if it can make me happy, but there is this uneasiness in me about it. The other it's pure. It makes me happy. I know with that side I can be happy forever. But what if I'm wrong?

What do I do? I feel pressure on my shoulders and a knot build in my stomach. I...I don't know what to do. I'm so lost and- I stop myself and realize what I need to do. I need to pray.

I inhale a deep breath. "Dear God, I don't know which path I need to choose. God, I need you to tell me what to do. I need you to tell me my path. Amen"

I flutter my eyes open. I feel knowledge drift in my head. I smile knowing which path laid before me to choose.

Quickly, I choose the path, a grin plasters on my face. I feel happiness, and purity run through me. I sigh in content, knowing I choose the right side.

Review:
God has graced us with free-will. Where we get to make each decision we choose. But we don't always choose the right thing. I know I don't. We all make bad choices and have bad times. Thankfully, God always gives us a second chance. No, we can't change the past because it has already written, but we can change the future because we are blessed with free-will.

What message I got:
We are the author of our decisions. Yes, God lays out a path and lights the way, but we always don't choose that path. What I'm getting at is that it is our free-will to make our own decisions because God won't force us to choose a certain path. If we choose to believe or if we choose not to, it's all up to us.
