why i chose
i chose because i had the choice.
i acknowledge,
that i was made in the very essence of choice;
the choice He made,
the one to love me.
i was,
and still am given choice,
and i exercise it with frivolity,
but i yearn,
for the discernment,
that i may choose in accordance to will.

i'm in school, and i'm here because i chose to come.
i told some that i might not come today, because i was feeling crappy.
i don't deny the presence of melancholy or depression, but i ain't going to let it overwhelm me, not for today at least, since it's my longest day in school, and also because i need to be at my best whilst i'm in school.
i've learnt in the midst of thinking that the things in your life which you have a say in, those that you can make a choice in, are those that matter most to you.
the tutors you get who teach you don't matter as much as the subjects that you choose to study.
the presence of evanglism doesn't matter at all till you choose to listen to any of it.
the friends, and people you hold close to your heart matter because you chose to allow them to be close to your heart.
those who walk around in school or in town, they may even rub shoulders with you, step on your toes, but they don't matter do they? since you chose to not let it affect you for a long time.
choose wisely is what many people would tell you from their own experiences, but when the wisdom of the world will be put to shame by the foolishness of God, what hope is there in thinking that i might be able to make a 'wise' choice then?
Lord, help me choose, not wisely, but let me then exercise the choice that you've freely given in line with what you wish of me.
