">My first time at joining in with Five Minute Friday...so here goes...
Imagine...
....a life without choices, a life where I knew what would be my future,minute by minute.
Sometimes when I am faced with too many or with difficult choices I long to have a life of no choice.
I want to be guided, put on the correct path.
I yearn for someone to tell me what to do.
Isn't it strange that when I feel I am being forced or pushed into a corner over a decision that I need to make that I react so strongly.
I fight,
I kick and push and push to expand my boundaries and let me search, explore, consider more options, more choices, another footpath.
Gradually over the last few weeks I have come to accept the latest choice I have made concerning my immediate future.
It has hurt.
I am grieving over the loss of 'being useful...of making a difference in people's lives'
Thank you Lord I have not had to make this decision in isolation.
Thank you for guiding me so gently, for whispering confirmation,for comforting me....for letting me make that choice.
Imagine a world without His love and His gift of freewill.
First of all, welcome to our FMF community! So glad you chose to join us. Loved this post. I actually felt your words as if they were my own. I feel the same way when I'm faced with difficult decisions, but also grateful I never have to face them alone. ~Tanya, visiting from FMF
ReplyDeletechoices - argh. funny how we sway back and forth between wanting someone to tell us what to do and then that being the absolute worst thing in the world.
ReplyDeletei think that is because when i choose, then i know i bear responsibility as well. so much for footloose and fancy free. :-)
great post today!
