Trying To Decide,

Trying to decide,

I know not what to choose.

I’m undecided, I must confide.



Either way, I may loose.

Either way, I just might win.

I know not what to choose.



If selfishness is a sin

then I must consider your interests.

Either way, I just might win.



If decisions are tests,

then I surely want to pass.

I must consider your best interests.



I cannot know how this will affect you, but alas,

Some life-lesson, some words of wisdom, to you

I surely want to pass.



I think I’ll choose not the old, but the new.

Trying to decide

what life lesson, what words of wisdom to leave you

I’m undecided, I must confide.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is an attempt at a Terzanelle.  I wrote this at a point in which I had decided to quit a particular ministry I am involved in.  I wrote it to the people within that ministry whom I knew I would miss deeply.  As it turned out, God did not allow me to resign at that point.  I was considering leaving that ministry because of undeserved criticism from certain people who are associated with this particular ministry in one form or another (But not the people this was addressed to, this one was addressed to the rest of the people within that ministry:  the ones I would miss greatly).  Anyway, God did not let me resign at that time.  Well, I have once again been considering resigning from this particular ministry because of similiar reasons.  I have made no definate decision at this point.  Maybe I was meant to come across this one while browsing through my "archives" on my computer.  Maybe God is again telling me to hanf on.  I just don't know.  If you read this, pray for me.

choices choices choices. i know i have many upcoming. which ones do i choose..?. part of me thinks one way is best . the other says another way. ok..if i cant make up my mind. i better let god just make the choice for me. he does make circumstances. he gives his word. he does give us friends who really do love us and want the best for us. ....... dont act out of compulsion but trust god. trust in the lord and he will direct your path.
