My sisters choices

This block is called "Sisters Choice" so it got me thinking about my sister and some of the choices she has made, three in particular, and these are no small choices either. These choices where huge life altering choices. That's the thing with my sister Jamie, the quote" go big or go home" could be the motto blazoned on her crest. She does nothing in a small way, never has really. The first choice was to quit her job to go to London for a week at the request of our Bishop to meet with a very well known and successful Anglican evangelist who wrote about her in one of his books. Mind you, she did not want to quit her job, but that was the ultimatum she was given. "Go to London and you will be fired" So as is her want, she opted to take the path of most resistance and headed off to London. If she had not made that choice she would never have had the chance to make choice number two, adopting two special needs kids, both still in diapers, and raising them together with the help of their grandmother. It was the need to provide for her little family that led to choice number three, as a middle aged new mom to go back to school to get a degree in order to start a second career as a teacher. Any one of these choices would have been remarkable, but the cumulative effect of all three is astounding. Maybe because she has always lived larger than life, she lacks the perspective to see the enormity of the choices she makes. The rest of us see it and it makes our choices trifling by comparison.
