Choices

Two Roads

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
and be one traveler, long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
and having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for that the passing there
had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
in leaves no steps had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.

Two years ago we came upon two diverging roads;  we "took the road less traveled by" and that has made all the difference.  We now spy another two roads diverging in the wood and are looking down them both as far as we can.  We must choose one of the roads, we cannot travel both . 
Which one to choose, which one is right,

which one will make all the difference.

USe the rationality, reason and wisdom that God has given you to make decisions, walk down a road where u are likely to do something you are good at and enjoy becuase God has blessed you with gifts and abilities and the good gifts of choice, freedom and enjoyment. And pray like mad that he would reveal what those things are and guide you to use all those faculties. theres no magic formula. But he never leaves us alone. and thats pretty magic.
