What if...

People often say they hate thinking about What If's. I must be weird because I like What If's. I enjoy wondering what might have happened if I had/hadn't done something. Thinking about that stuff is always so interesting, especially thinking about how decisions we made in our lives affected where we are/what we're doing today. I'm not sure if I'm making much sense anymore so I'm going to give you some examples.

What If #1 - What if I had chosen to go to SAU the year I graduated from high school?
A: I probably wouldn't have switched schools halfway through my college career and might have actually graduated from college in a normal amount of time (four years after graduating from high school).

What If #2 - What if I had chosen journalism as a major before starting college and stayed with that choice throughout all my college years?
A: I probably would have gotten through college in four years from my high school graduation date (or at least closer to four years) and would probably be off working someplace (most likely Canada) right now.

What If #3 - What if I hadn't gone as an SM or worked at home for a year after that?
A: I might have just stayed at WWC to finish up my schooling and, again, would probably be done school and working somewhere now.

What If #4 - What if I hadn't followed Bryn and Ty to SAU?
A: I might have gone through with my plan to take the two-year Air Traffic Controller program in Ontario . . . and would probably be working as an ATC somewhere out in the northern reaches of Canada.

What If #5 - What if I hadn't joined SAU's orchestra?
A: I probably would never have gotten to know most of my SAU friends, I definitely wouldn't have gone on the Spring Break Europe tour in March 2008, and I probably wouldn't have ever gotten to know Jonathan.

What If #6 - What if I hadn't decided to live in Southern Villages last school year?
A: I most likely wouldn't have spent so much time hanging out and eating at Tim and Jonathan's apartment.

I think you can see where this blog post is going so I'll stop with the examples now. I just think it's crazy how things work out. God really does know what's best for us all so I usually try not to stress about stuff and let Him work things out. He always does it best anyhow.
