there are times in each of our lives when we ask ourselves, "did i make the right decision?" we look into the past of our lives whether immediate or years ago and wonder, should i have done that? did it benefit anypart of me? or would i be where i am today if i had not made that decision so long ago. some decisions we make effect us long term or maybe for just the next twenty minutes.
for example many times in college, my friends and i would drive the 2 miles or so to taco bell for a our "fourth meal." and while i enjoyed the many chili cheese burritos and nacho cheese chalupas everytime, about twenty minutes later the term taco bell run had a new meaning. and i asked myself "did i make the right decision about going to taco bell?" while that decision only stuck with me for a night, other decision stick with us even longer, possibly even a lifetime.
for example.
when i was a senior in high school, i made the decision to attend indiana wesleyan even though it was 1300 miles away from home. at times after i made the choice i wondered, "did i make the right decision?" it has now been 8 years since i made the choice to go to iwu and i can tell you it was the right decision. it was at iwu where i received my call to the ministry. it was also where i met jenny, who i have been married to 2 1/2 years. this decision has obviously effected the greater scheme of my life for the better.
although i have made other decisions in my life that i regret. and could make life altering decisions in the future i have learned that i need to take responsibility for my decisions. whether good not bad. although i continue to go to taco bell.

what gets me about life is the small decisions that end up being huge or "uge" as you would say. There aren't as many of these, but they happen. Mostly I've started to see alot of God's hand leading us - it's crazy.
i agree
