just passing through: Hard Decisions

28 April 2009

Hard Decisions

Every day in our life we make decisions. From the moment we wake up until the time we sleep, there are several options to choose from. It could be as simple as what to eat for breakfast or where to go to after work. There are times though that we are brought to situations where we have to make hard decisions. It entails weighing the options not only once, but twice,... We always wanted to arrive at win-win solutions. It happened to me just recently. I was torn between two important commitments. I was even questioned about my decisions. It was truly hard and stressful but God made a way so I can have both with some compromises. Hard decisions... Life is full of it.

Sail On

"Life here on earth is a temporary assignment." - Rick Warren

They say that we are just like passing ships. Wherever we go and drop anchor, we learn something that makes our lives never the same again.

Life may have brought us disappointments, failures, discouragements, broken hearts and other negative thoughts and emotions but life goes on.

Along the way, we meet people who touch our lives one way or the other. Some become true friends. Most of them just acquaintances.

We are here in this world temporarily. We are not yet home.

Whatever happens, the Lord will never leave us nor forsake us. He always knows what's best for us.

Everything happens for a reason.
