This I Believe...

I believe in many things. However there are others much more prevalent than others in my life. I believe in peace and love and happy endings, but more importantly I believe in choice. There are so many things going on in our lives and sometimes we question. Why would God let bad things happen? Why would they do that? Is this really happening to me? I believe that God gave us the most profound gift of free will. Therefore, I can CHOOSE if I’m going to do something good, or something bad. I can CHOOSE if I will benefit myself, others, or compromise. We get so mad at others when they choose certain things, but we don’t have a right to do that. That’s something we all struggle with. I especially learned that in college. People have to make their own decisions and we need to either accept that or help by accommodating our lives. In our service settings we’re given the opportunity to offer more than this though. We’re given the opportunity to offer services that may not be offered otherwise therefore giving more options to individuals.
