What If...

Maybe it's because I feel like I have some "down" mental time. Maybe it's because I want to procrastinate. Either way, I just starting wondering about a lot of "What If" questions in life.

What if I studied theology in undergrad?
What if I had pursued an education degree instead of communications?
What if I had not bothered with law school?
What if I am in the wrong profession?
What if I'm in the right place?
What if I hadn't bought my house?
What if I was more humble?
What if I'd passed the bar the first time?
What if this stage in my life isn't what God desires?
What if this isn't my cross to bear? Better yet, what is my cross, God?
What if I'm really not called to the legal profession?
What if I'm called to something else?
What if there's something better?
What if I'm just doing this to procrastinate?

Honestly, I have to be honest with God and honest with myself. Even while I look at my desk and wonder how all of these piles got all over my desk, I am amazed that I am where I am. God has truly brought me to this particular point in time to do the particular things that I am doing for his glory.


Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” (Philippians 2:12,13)
