It is easy to have a world where choices are bipolar, either good or bad, true or false, everything or nothing. I was attempting to live that way for some time. It was in the midst of a survival mindset. I think that when questions or decisions come, if hasty or even necessarily hasty, we may break it apart only into two options, this is the bad choice and this is the good choice. It may even feel like a test, and sometimes it is. However, as we grow, things become more complicated, and we can call it more frustrating or we can also see that it is more wonderful and the freedom and liberty that we always have desired is in that sweet spot. Yes, at times, it can be confusing...but, there is conscience and intuition there to lead us on our way. We can have a feeling of what we need to do or that "still small voice" and not get all balled up in our heads with analysis of paralysis. The spirit of fear is something that can be overcome. It is a nasty thing. These giants that are in the way to a land where there are great and prosperous rewards can be annihilated with the correct power. The choices become multiple choice rather than true or false and even an essay where we can write our own lives with the help of council around us. And, this is another interesting thought about it being a test, that it is just like the tests we have in academics, pushing us forward to a "degree." Life is a beautiful thing, and as we step way from the survival mindset, we can start operating in the abundant life that we were created for.

I want to write an essay of my life. I want to write out agendas and plans that steer me and my family to our hopes and dreams. The outcome may not be what we would expect, but it will be what our hard work contrives, a reality where we help others around us to move towards the same thing, a reality that only a Creator could form.
