THE CHOICES WE MAKE
March 28 Tuesday 2006

I can hardly believe how quickly this academic year has gone. I honestly feel like I’m still adjusting to life on the PCLL, and now it’s almost over. It's been quite a struggle getting used to the whole culture and mentality of the course. Perhaps it's just been too hard for me. I don't know, but I guess I'll find out soon enough.

A close friend from my Study Group said to me the other day that I was really lucky to have so much “choice”. Choice in the sense that I still have the luxury of being able to choose what I want to do with my life, rather than feeling like I have no other option but to continue down a certain path.

And in a way, I suppose she’s right. I do feel rich. Not by what I own or posses, but in the choices that I have through the gifts and opportunities that God has given me. I'm reminded of something my mother used to say, "that a rich person is simply someone who has choice". And so as easy as it is to feel bound and obligated these days, I have a peace that comes from knowing God is watching over me.
