THE POWER OF CHOOSING 🩷
Yesterday was such a beautiful day at the Free Evangelical Assemblies – Ebenezer Mission Children’s Convention, where I had the privilege of speaking to young people under this year's theme, “The Power of Choosing,” drawn from Deuteronomy 30:19:
“I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life.”
Under the theme The Power of Choosing, I shared some of my own journey and the choices I have made along the way, including the dreams I once wrote down in my Book of Possibilities. Looking back at those pages reminds me of how the choices we make, the values we hold onto, and the faith we have can all become part of the story we eventually live.
We played, we laughed, and we had fun! 🥰 But within all that fun were some very important lessons about the choices we make.
We explored how our choices are shaped by our values, what values really are, and how the things we believe and stand for influence the decisions we make. We also talked about some of the common poor choices young people make and the consequences that can follow. It was such a beautiful moment watching them engage, have fun and bring the lessons to life in interactive illustrations.
The convention was meant to continue today, but the cold front had other plans. 😅 Still, yesterday was such a beautiful experience, and I am grateful to Free Evangelical Assemblies – Ebenezer Mission for inviting me to share with their young people.
Deuteronomy 30:19 reminds us that life and death are set before us, and then comes the instruction: “Now choose life.”
May our young people always have the wisdom and courage to choose well. 🩷
