I Always Have A Choice. It is!

Sem. Carl Joshua

I believe, I always have a choice no matter what I’m doing. No matter where I am. No matter what is happening to me. I always have a choice. I have been staying in the seminary for almost three years. I choose to stay because I feel that I have the vocation and of course the formators allow me to stay. Every now and then I am very thankful because I can choose what is capable for me not to surrender but to continue my journey being a servant of God. I choose to enter the seminary not because I was inspired but because I choose the seminary for me to undergo formation and for me to explore and to know Christ as well.

As a human person, I have the freedom because I am able to choose, having the freedom of choice. Freedom of choice is what I have, because I choose to study rather than to do the things which are unnecessary. I choose to wash my clothes rather than to sleep during free time. I choose to ask for tutorial rather than to have a non-sense conversation. I choose to go to chapel after brushing teeth rather that to sleep immediately.  I choose to keep silence rather than to commit sins and violations. I choose to play basketball with brothers rather than to watch anime or cartoons. I choose to be optimistic when the negativity surrounds.

There are many choices in my life. There are choices that if I choose it might harm me and others but there are choices that I can do well that bring happiness and goodness not only for me but, for the people who surrounds me. I am thankful because of the unconditional love of God, even though sometimes there are things that I cannot control myself that is why I hurt others through my weaknesses. I thank God because he gives me choices to choose what I need to choose. In every trials and challenges in life I always have a choice to face it, I always have a choice not to escape but to avoid and give solution for it. I always have a choice to continue my journey. I always have a choice to strengthen my faith and vocation. I always have a choice to persevere to know Christ who is the source of my vocation.   

Let us choose what is Godly!
