sometimes i wish life was like those choose your own adventure books i liked as a kid, the ones that told you to "flip to page 142 if you want this or flip to page 193 if you want this". the beauty was that if you made a choice that somehow was unappealing after settling into the thick of it, you could simply return to the point of choice & choose another ending. the consequences were nothing more than getting paper cuts from flipping pages so quickly.
ah, if life only had consequences of papercuts in delicate situations. instead, it's the potential to hurt & be hurt, to be vulnerable.
i'm at a place where i cannot decide how to proceed. continuing on a set path is appealing, yet vulnerable. scaling back from this path is unappealing, yet safe. & standing still is an option, but simply leaves me with no resolution.
cheesy motivational speakers can tell me that we can choose our own adventure. i'd say God tells us we have the power of choice in our lives, hence the reason He gave us guidelines but also a brain. so what to do when the heart & head are engaging in a battle?
i wonder what page 142 has to offer ...
