All of 18 yrs. old and proclaiming to have made the best choice of my life! Well it was. Up until now I had lived safely. A bit of peer pressure, you know friends saying "come on try it" or "he likes you, go for it". Some temptation passing by to attempt to lure you. Like I said I was a good girl, that silly peer pressure stuff wasn't gonna get me, and the temptation, naw....not tempting enough. Here in the "college life" while I was trying to overcome the loneliness and the feelings of inadequecy I was facing the reality that the life I had lived was under parental guidance. The things I had believed, did I still believe them without my parents control? Was I a good girl because I really wanted to be? besides what constituted good? did the standards change after high school?....yes! no! maybe?.....I knew I wanted assurance, I knew I wanted peace, I even knew I would stand by my "standards" but I needed help....a "crutch" if you will
So it was, that in this condition God offered me a choice. A choice to live right under his direction or remain as is and compromise and sell out to the pulls and pressures of this "independent" living. I chose God and his direction and I have lived a life grateful of that choice.
What have you chosen? What did you miss with that choice? What did you gain?
