Life is about choices.

Everyday we are faced with a multitude of decisions we have to make. And our lives can be greatly affected by the choices we make. In a perfect world we would always make the right choice, but unfortunately we are not perfect. Not to mention the fact that life would be boring and we would never learn anything. You really don’t hear anyone proclaiming that we learn from making the right choices. Rather it is often said that we learn from our mistakes. So this begs the question, should I eat my protien bar for an afternoon snack? Or should I pursue the potential knowledge held within that candy bar in the vending machine?

quote of the day

“Life is hard. It’s even harder if you’re stupid.”

2008, The year I had to grow up…

Another year has come and gone.  2008 was probably the most eventful year of my life.  So many things happened to me.  Big “grown up” things that I have never had to deal with before.  Some of them were wonderful things, others were terribly painful. 

I learned that life is precious at any age, and only God knows when our last day will be. 

I learned that those closest to me can hurt me deeper than anyone.

I learned that forgivness is healing.

I was reminded just how wonderful my friends are.

I learned that no person or institution is immune to disaster.

I saw good people lose their jobs.

I felt blessed that I didn’t lose mine.

I witnessed a miracle and I held him in my arms.

I witnessed the joy of granparenthood.

I saw that through all the good and the bad God is in control.  He always has been and he always will be.

Happy new year!
