The Choices That We Make

Spring Break is over, so that means that my first year of college is almost over as well. My spring break was one of adventure and lessons learned. I definetely learned how hard it is to resist temptation even when you are with friends who are strong christians. And, a thing I learned from that was if you are the friend being the good example, its okay to speak out, because the person who is fighting temptation really needs a friend who is going to hold them accountable. A major thing that I learned was that the choices that we make not only effect us, but also those around us. I guess I have never really seen this, and definetely saw a lot of it over spring break. The trip was one of the best of my life, but there are certain parts that I want to forget. I am sure that my friends can both say the same. The main reason of this blog is to share how a friend's decision caused me to see something in a totally different light. I guess I never really fully understood the value of saving yourself until you are married. Of course, I think its great and something that I believed in, but never really looked extremely close at it. My friend made a choice this past week that is going to change her forever. She decided to give it away, and shes regretting it now. Looking at the situation, it isn't worth it, and its not something that you can go back and change. Definetely something to think about, and it has made me more aware of how huge of a struggle it is after the fact.
