What if?

Do you ever feel like you're living life on the wrong path? The questions of "what if this?" or "what if that?" What if I had made that one small decision differently, which would've then caused me to be on a completely different path? A different school, major, city, choice of words. A different step.

One decision, no matter how small it seems, impacts the rest of your life. This morning, I thought about a million what ifs. It scares me, actually... what if I made the wrong choice? What if I had taken that opportunity? What if I had said something earlier? What if I had chosen something else? What if...? I think a lot about how my life could've been different... I sometimes think different could be better.

Hmm, but then I also think about the biggest "what if" that has impacted humanity... What if Jesus hadn't died? I'm literally sitting here and this thought just came to mind... What if? If He hadn't come to save me, then I would be dead! I would be even more lost than I am now! I wouldn't have any guidance whatsoever.

God saved me from that "what if." Because of that, I can be content. That chose God made, to choose me, set me on the path I am today... and I am beginning to realize again that it's the path I need to be on. He has a plan for my life. He has my future set out, and I'm on my way there... The path may be a dark and scary path. But I'm not alone. God is with me. He's carrying me every step of the way :)
