later in the week,
changed
his mind. My mother is telling me we should "force him to stick to his
original
decision", because by letting him change his mind, he's learning how to
"manipulate people"! Ummm... couldn't he be learning how to make the
right decision
in the FIRST place? Learning to know his own mind? Yeah, like my mother
has
never changed her mind in her life... Sorry, all-didn't mean to get off
on a
rant-my mother just gets my dander up. And this is just the teeny-est
tip of the
iceburg! Okay, going to go calm down, now... :~D

He he he... I had a similar experience with someone when DD wanted to quit some activity (don't remember exactly what it was now...). I pointed out to this someone that he quit bible college 2 semesters from graduation because he realized that he was not meant for the ministry and would be going "against God's will" for his life to continue. Instead, he switched to follow his "God-given passion" and while he ended up spending an extra 3 years in college than if he'd followed his passion from the start, he is happier now and learned a huge lesson (i.e. follow your instincts insted of what others tell you to do). Why shouldn't DD be given the same choice and opportunity?? He replied, "hm... good point."
