I have a decision I have to make. I'll spare you all the details, but it's the kind that changes the direction of your life. You know the big scary ones. No one can make this decision for me, it's all on me. Yippee! I don't know about you but I tend to over think my decisions, especially when they involve the ones I love. I want to do the right thing but it's hard to do the right thing when you don't know what the right thing is. You following me? So, here I've been.. for months... praying, debating, praying, deciding. I've been paralyzed by fear of the unknown and the path that my decision will take me. In my heart I know what is BEST. Ugh.. I know what I have to do, but fear has held me back from taking the plunge. Fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of letting people down, fear of rejection.... it's all holding me back. Why does being a grown up have to be so hard?! SO.. with that said I read something recently that spoke directly to my heart on this topic and I wanted to share it with you. In Lysa Terkeurt's The Best Yes she said, "If I'm trusting myself, I will stare at all the possible ways I could fail. If I'm trusting God, I will stare at all the possible ways He'll use this whether I fail or succeed. ....When I stare at all the possible ways God can use this whether I succeed or fail, I'll face my decision. I'll convince myself that it's better to step out and find out than to stay stuck."

Stuck.. that's exactly how I feel. Have you ever felt that way? Today I encourage you to think about those decisions in your life you've been putting off. What is holding you back? Is it fear.. possibly fear of the unknown? Yeah, me too. Lets me reminded today that when we aim to please God, no matter the outcome, it won't be completely awful. In our desire to please Him, He will take our decision and use it for our good. There is no perfect choice, but it is far better to take that leap of faith and trust in God than to stay stuck. So.. with that said, I'll jump if you jump. How does that sound?! Lets me bold as we close out this week. Lets rely more on God than ourselves and aim to please Him in all that we do. We can find peace in knowing He'll take care of the rest.
