Crossroads

Becoming aware of the many possibilities regarding one's life can be quite baffling. Life is a choice. One's course in life depends greatly on the choices that one makes. Decisions, most especially those that matter can alter one's fate in an instant. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why counselors would often advice me not to make any abrupt decisions when at the height of my emotions. Quite rightly so. One should think twice when making any big decision about one's own life. The consequences and repercussions of a choice might just be overwhelming if one has not been prudent.
I'm at crossroads right now. Life is offering me wonderful possibilities that I could realize. As to what that might be falls unto the palm of my hand. Yet, I have not made any decision yet. I'm undecided. Presently, i could not still figure out what to choose. Noviciate or Extended Postulancy? Both are promising. But I have to choose only one.
Yet somehow, it dawned on me that this crossroads is not a mere matter of choice. I should not forget to acknowledge the Superior power that emanates through the cosmos and to the whole of my being. The possibilities that lay ahead does not fall entirely into my hands. The path, way of life, decision that I'll be making is not just a matter of choice, but a matter of discernment as well. This choice should be coupled with prayer. This is a way of believing in Providence. After all, it is God who knows what's best for me.
