What do you do when no matter which way you turn there’s a drawback, a cost, a risk?
How do you settle in on one particular choice when every choice has pros and cons?
I have people I love who are asking these kinds of questions today in situations that range from their children to their spouse to their career to their health.
Sometimes “easy answers” aren’t available.
Sometimes Plan B has as many drawbacks as Plan A.
I’ve found myself facing these kinds of decisions many times in my life.
I wrestle with some even today.
What do I do when there’s no easy answer??
First, I tell God just how helpless I feel.
Then I don’t do anything for a while.
I try to imagine making each possible decision, and I close my eyes and allow myself to go there in my mind.
Do I have a feeling of peace or uneasiness as I walk down each road?
Time and time again God has proven to lead me to peace even when the decision is not the one that made the most sense to me or even appealed to me the most.
God knows best.
He longs to lead us.
I can talk to a hundred different friends and get a hundred different opinions, but when I finally hand things over to Him who loves me most and wait……..
He is faithful.
In His time.
Today, if you have big decisions to make.
Let God know all your options.
And then pray for peace as He leads.
When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;
he brought me into a spacious place.
The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
The Lord is with me; he is my helper.
I look in triumph on my enemies.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.
Psalm 118:5-8
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
