You make 35,000 a day...

I just had a conversation on Sunday, with my youth group, about the fact that you make around 3000 decisions per day.  So, today I Googled, "how many decisions to adults make in a day?"  Answer:  35,000.  I was a little off, but now I feel WAY stressed out how many decisions I make in one day.  As a Principal, I should take that number and multiply it by 2!
Sometimes it's the little decisions that make a big difference.  In my day to day life, I find that the simple conversations that I have with my students are the highlights of my day.  For example, while walking around the school yesterday, I received 5 hugs, several high fives, and lots of smiles.  One little decision, to leave my office and adventure into the classrooms, turned into a positive part of my day.  Kids are one of God's greatest creations!

I'm still stumped on the 35,000 decisions a day.  Can you believe that!!!???  During youth group, I also gave a speech on freewill and choice.  God created us to love and to be loved.  His ultimate gift was freewill.  Did He realize, that in one day, we have 35,000 different ways our life could go?  I can't even decide what to wear everyday!  I'm sure 1000 of my choices are spent on just that small task alone.
