I have wondered for a long time now, why it is we make the decisions we make? Sometimes, we make really intelligent choices by taking all variables into account, and weighing all options and possible outcomes before going down that path. Other times...not so much. But have you ever noticed that it seemingly takes about a million GOOD decisions to even come close to erasing ONE bad one?
Even when we have the best of intentions, we can mess up. Even when the best thing to ever occur in our lives is staring us in the face, we often choose to ingnore it and walk away. And why? Why do we walk away? Ignorance? Lack of common sense? Fear?
There have been things in my life that I have wholefully embraced and I know that I made the right choices. On the other hand, there were other things that I chose to do that I know now, after many years of reflection, were most definitely the wrong things to do. Sadly, I can never go back and "fix" it, neither can I ever make it right. All I can do is to try and make sure I always weigh those variables before I do anything.One area I was really lacking in was listening to God. He has told me all along what is best, but I seemed to play the part of a child with fingers in ears saying "La la la la...La la la la" and ignored Him. So, I approach tomorrow with a new attitude. Saddle up...grab the bull by the horns...open the gate...and hold on until God says it's time to let go. I am truly sorry for walking away when I should have been running towards. But you know, if you begin to listen to God's "still small voice", that walking away may actually lead you in a circle. When the circle completes itself, go forward. It's the 2nd best choice you can make.
