Decisions

Well, I suppose I have been productive on my Saturday off--just not with any of the things that I planned to be productive with. My goal was to work on an order of wedding invitations, scrapbook some of my own, and design some new cards for SBR.

Instead, I've spent the past 36 hours dealing with one of the chapters of Alpha Xi Delta I am responsible for. The situation at hand has got me thinking a lot about decisions. How easy it is to make bad ones and how hard it is to face the consequences of them. I've been remembering my own bad decisions and how they have shaped my character and led to where I am today. I've also realized how our personal decisions can affect so many others, yet most of us never consider that while in the decision making process.

Because of several young womens' poor decisions, I am forced to make a tough decision myself. And that really stinks. But, it's got me thinking...."have any of my decisions but someone else in a tough decision situation?"

Ironically, decision making was already something weighing heavy on my mind. Since the beginning of the year I have praying that the Lord would teach me how to seek him before making decisions. I want to be guided by His word and spirit to know that I'm truly making the right decision in life. He has wasted no time calling me up to the plate.

I don't know what is worse: a tough decision that only affects myself, or a tough decision that affects 100 others.
