A Choosing

On any given morning, I might not be able to list for you the facts I know about God.  But I can tell you what I wish to commit myself to, what I want for the foundation of my life, how I want to see.  When I stand with the faithful… and declare that we believe in one God … I am saying, Let this be my scaffolding.  Let this be the place I work, struggle, play, rest.  I commit myself to this.

~ Lauren f. Winner, Still

More than a choice, it’s a choosing.
It’s ongoing, not a one-time gig.
It’s not just that it happened; it’s a daily happening.
It’s the –ing suffix.

It’s my choosing.
And in my choosing, let these words be mine.
