Comment on Will Drake's "Queasy Yet"

HEBREWS 5:7-9 Amanda touched on this but I really would love for each of you to go read it. It has a lot of weight for all of us.

Choices, choices, choices. Everyone is blogging on choices. Coincidence? No. Irony? Maybe. God piecing things together in my life? Most certainly. And to hear it from my best of friends. The support that I feel from you all is becoming overwhelming. It is an odd sense of "we don't really want you to go but if the Lord is leading you, then we do". And it's a blessing.

Anxiety as the dizziness of freedom? I think so. In my decision I felt so overwhelmed with the feeling of freedom. We so often beg for it, but when it is upon us, do we enjoy it as much as we thought we would. Contrary to it's outward appearance, my choice was entirely my own. My parents did not call me and say, "Lucy, we cannot afford to send you to UM". Instead they said, "it isn't easy, and there are some things that we are all able to do without but we can do it if it's really what you want". And this is what made the difficulty of my decision skyrocket over the course of fall break. (Don't get me wrong, I greatly respect and appreciate my parents for allowing me the choice and don't think I would have handled it well if they demanded that I transfer. My parents are wonderful in this aspect.) Choices are only true choices when there are two very appealing options. As Amanda and I were talking about today, pro and con lists don't work with the tough decisions because they most often seem to even out. But if there is one thing that I can say I learned in high school it is that the only pro is "this choice is the center of God's will" and the only con is "this is outside of God's will". And from there I make my choice. Catch ya on the flipside.

P.S. here is some applicable scripture -
