I hate making choices. I know it is part of the whole, agency thing but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I am at a point in my life where I have SO many choices. I don't think there was ever or will ever be a time when I will have more choices than i do now. And the problem is, they are all good things.
I guess the biggest issue is a mission. I feel like I should go but I am totally scared out of my mind. Plus other things keep coming up like a study abroad to Iceland or the possibility of staying in school. I feel like I will miss out on so many things if I decide to go. I hate making choices!

This is indeed the most choice-ridden time of our lives. The only way I am ever able to make any decisions is by praying and fasting for a long time, and then picking something and starting to roll with it. If it's right, the Lord will help me feel that pretty soon. If it isn't right, I feel that even more quickly and strongly :). But I usually only feel it after I've made a (tentative) decision.
If it's any consolation, I think most of us are scared to death when we prepare for a mission. I am pretty terrified too (I think terror and excitement are nearly identical on the emotional scale), and there's no turning back for me :). I had to make that same decision between going on a mission or the many other options that were available to me after I graduate, and it took me over a year to decide, so I feel ya.
p.s. I hope you don't mind my long comments.
Thanks Alexa. The thing that makes me feel the best about going on a mission is that I know I have lots of people praying for me and I can get lots of advice from people who have served before.
i am sure you are going to do great.
P.S. I LOVE your long comments
