The adventures of being an education major are absolutely endless. A couple nights ago I was told by some 2nd grade girls at church that I would be a really cool teacher and then my little Kindergarteners thought the world was ending when I wouldn't let them have some Smarties before their parents got there. I love working with kids. Not only do they bring a lot of diversity, there is never a dull moment and since my entire life could be based on that statement (the one about never a dull moment) it works well.
It's nice always to have options because that keeps things different and new but seriously there are times when I just want someone to pick for me so I don't have to deal with picking and choosing amongst all the things that are available. For example, you walk into Old Navy and they have a table of sweaters that are all on sale and there are four that like you like. You can't get all of them because that would be weird to have four like that because they are too much alike and not all those colors are gonna work for ya. Therefore you proceed to stand there for a long time weighing the pros and cons about each color and trying to decide which one is best. Then eventually take one to the dressing room and it looks really awkward but you can't figure out whether it's the color or the sweater, and then you go back to decide whether to try another one. Decisions are all around us and they continue to surround us for the rest of our lives. What to get, where to go, and what to do?
We can sit and think about things but in the end what should we choose? If we choose one thing then are we missing out on something greater or is what we choose "right?" This is something that has been on my mind a lot lately and it seems that there isn't anything that anyone can say or do to help it because in the end it's my decision. No one makes decisions for us, we have to make them for ourselves and as hard as that is to realize it's true. No one makes you steal a cookie, in the end you are the one that makes the decision.
So amongst all the decisions and things that come up in our lives who do we go to whenever we have questions and concerns? We go to the One that can help us. We pray to Him and ask for guidance and help whenever we are unsure of what to do. One thing that we can always count on is that no matter what we do, He always has the controls and when we surrender it all over to Him we don't have to make the decisions. Now I'm not saying that He will come down with holy fire in Old Navy to tell you which sweater to choose but He will give you peace in the decisions that we face. Whether you're trying to decide what to study, where to go, or what's next look to Him and let Him guide you because in the end, it's only His opinion that matters.
Happy Tuesday to all!! -Emily :)
