Choices, is something you can choose, is an act, of choosing two possibilities or more. Yet making the final decision is rather tougher than I thought, since both parties also need to give way.
Decision making is still tough for me, as final decisions are often made based on strong supporting facts and not by feelings. Plus, more of the time I do make foolish decision; immature thinking, and always lead by emotions.
Hmm…. Choices and choices…. Wonder what best choice is for me. Someone approached me a while ago in the afternoons. Apparently he was finding recruitments for AJK post for the “Pesta Ang Pow” (Ang Pow Festival). Joining it will be having almost a hectic schedule for me, as meeting s and activities might be held during the weekends, which means……..not going back, not going for ministry, and not seeing family.
Hah, this may seems hilarious to you. “It’s a great opportunity to join because you can learn many things and get to know others and more networks.” said someone. “This is a very big and grand event because the datuk’s are attending.” said another. What was shocking was one of my course mates handed me an application form. “nah, fill in this and you’re under ajk of my group”, said her. Astonished and speechless, I took the form and went back to my room. I then rejected to fill in the form and she gave me a kinda disturbing reply, “I don’t care, if you don’t fill in you need to find another one to replace you.” Wow, I, felt, a little threaten. Just about then the tone of her speech dropped, “Please la, we need to recruit 15 AJK’s, its very tough for us.” she uttered. Sigh, first I felt compassionate for her ‘coz of having so much pressure in finding AJKs. But, entering it will be a bon’voyage to church ministries, as follow ups are needed to be done. Well, its kinda hard to make choices like this. Its like not accepting it, the friendship between us may lead to bad impression, or whatsoever. Accepting it, well, hmm…….its stated above then.
Sigh, to take or not to take. The philosophy of The Matrix stated, “The blue pill or the red pill”, said Morpheus to Neo, which the decision made by Neo will eventually change his life. Yet for me it’s not that crucial, just an example. Robert Frost, a famous poet, “The Road not Taken” stated he took the path where the least people will choose, and it leads him to an unregretful result. Choosing wisely is crucial.
So Jason, which path you’ll choose, what pill will you take?
What does the Bible says? “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Phil 4:6. Yea, I shouldn’t be worrying about things like this, I should thank God, for giving this kinda situation for me to learn something, (God ar, pls no next time ar….pls pls) and not to worry.

ReplyDeletei felt the lost too. Being super active in highschool but completely dormant in form six & uni. Giving up opportunities to study abroad. Going back to form six jz bcz college schedule is not church-friendly. I've made seriously silly decisions back then. But I have no regrets. For me, they are all Godly decisions. I admire my boldness when i was younger. willing to give up anything for God..that's what I am learning to gain back now. Each option given is a test of faith..but choosing wrongly doesn't mean failing..just a longer route to your destiny. I always believe we will eventually get there, cz God is in control.
