WWJD

WWJD

I think that a person's life is part circumstance and mostly choices. So, when evaluating where I was in my life, I felt as though I was doing a good job at handling life's circumstances, but my "choice making" needed a little adjustment and the best method for me to employ would be WWJD.....

I remember when this phrase came out a few years ago. I understand the message completely, and to be clear - Jesus is definitely the role model that we should all aspire to.....I just needed a more relatable figure to look to as a woman living in the 21st Century and the choices that I faced.

So, I went searching for my WWJD. I'm more fortunate than most people to have very solid, moral people in my life who challenge me to become a better person......but I could only choose one. So, I chose my sister-in-law because over the last almost thirty years I have known her, I have yet to see her make a bad choice......and her name begins with "J"

So, I have been employing the "WWJD" technique over the past couple of years.....and you know what? It works....for the most part. I still slip....alot. I will never be as graceful as my sister-in-law.

But there is alot of life ahead of me and perhaps one of these days I can be the kind of person that will inspire someone to say "What Would Mona Do?".......

Don't laugh. It could happen.
