Choice: Make A Good Decision

I finally went to church this morning. Some friends know that I've been looking for a church to go for a month. The fact is, I just came here one month ago. Looking for a good church for myself seems a little bit difficult for me. I am in the south, I have no connection with people here who go to church regularly. Just randomly go to one church? I really don't want to.

So today I went to Capstone with friends of my friend, Doug. Doug is a funny guy who has the same class with me. He plays guitar, and I assume he sings. I have some misunderstandings on him because I thought he is an arrogant man. But we talked the other night, we carried really good conversations. From music to religion, we talked. And I believe that was God's work on us. That's how I was able to go to Capstone this morning.

I was looking forward to this Sunday for a while. On Saturday afternoon, some friends suggested that we should go to a lake house to spend the weekend. Frankly speaking, I really wanted to go. Lake house,sitting around the camp fire, just hang out, seems pretty relaxing. Church, Lake house, church, Lake house, what should I choose?

At last I chose church. I struggled but I finally made a choice for myself. It is a difficult process when you are facing to two different options which you think are both good. You want both but you know you can only pick one. Going to lake house would be so fun but you know it is not important. You can still go to church next Sunday but you know it is not just about that.

Eventually my friends had a great weekend at the lake house. They jumped into the lake at midnight for twice in -7's cold weather! I really wish I were there. But I had a great Sunday morning too. Going to church makes me feel peaceful and I feel closer to God. I have time to think about the previous week and pray, worship God and make a plan for the next week. It is not exciting but it is amazing. I am happy for my friends because they had a crazy weekend and I am also happy for myself.

This is a book that I received from Capstone. I like the tittle. Yes, people always want something good and when they get good things, they want better things. They ask for more and they even ask for perfect. But we know that nothing is perfect. We are not perfect. "Good enough", we don't know what is good enough. I have no idea what should "good enough" be. Making good decision doesn't mean that you can get something good. There are lots of choices. But one thing at least you should know is what kind of things you want in your life. Hm, there are still lots of things for me to learn.
