As I've been sitting at my desk, studying (or trying to), I've been thinking alot about the decisions I've been making. Not the little decisions like "what will I wear today?", or "will I have coffee or tea?"
I've been thinking alot about the bigger decisions, like how I spend my time, and who I hang out with. And I've been wondering if I'm going to regret these decicions in the future, or if I will be glad that I decided the way that I did.
I've been thinking a lot about the same choices that I made last year at this time, and the year before that at this time: really glad that I chose to get to know the people I know, and that I'm in the spot that I'm at. But when I look back at this year, will I have chosen well? Or will I cringe and regret that I didn't do this... or talk to this person... or get to know....
Do the people I'm with encourage me to be closer to God? Are the relationships I'm building with others long-lasting? Do I know people that need God, who I can be a light in a dark work to? Am I spending my time well? or am I wasting it on things that don't matter?
In the end, I've been told, the only thing that matters is relationship: relationship with God, and relationships with others. Only two things are eternal: God, and people.
what am I spending my time on? and who am I spending it with?

Hey Rachel =)
Small world hey? Emily is a really good friend of mine.
I totally dig what you're saying! it's so true, esp. with New Years coming up and looking back on our lives and what we did, or were supposed to do, or thought we did. I don't know if you're doing any of the Christmas stuff at Heartland but this sounds like a good 'sharing' thing inbetween songs or something...just a thought =) Hope you have a wonderful Christmastime!
Peace,
A.
