Megan's prayer: Jars of Clay's "Can't Erase It"

But you changed your mind, you let everyone down
This time, last year, I was in the middle of making what is so far the biggest decision of my life. Stay at Dayton, or come home to St. Louis? If I came home, I'd be letting my roommates down, but if I stayed at Dayton, I'd be letting myself down - either way, someone lost.

For months, I didn't know what to do. If I put my roommate's happiness before mine, I wouldn't be happy, but at least they would be happy. And really, what was two more years of college at a school I didn't care for?

If I put my happiness first, wouldn't that be considered selfish? Isn't that saying my individual happiness is more important than a group of people's happiness? I really didn't know the answer to all of these questions.

In the end, I listened to God and followed my heart, and ended up in St. Louis. Turns out all of my friends agreed with God. With God, it wasn't such a hard decision afterall.
