hmmm…..
It’s raining today – not actually earth shattering news, but it’s different from the snow we have had in the past few weeks. I have had a wonderful few days with my daughter in Austin , Texas
Watching the weather makes travel plans difficult. Should we stay another day or strike out to see how far north we can go before the ice overtakes us and forces us to stop. And how long will our stop be? Hours, days? It’s very hard living in this purgatory of uncertainty.
The uncertainties of life make decisions difficult. Should I stay or should I go? That question gets asked a lot. Should I stay in the dead end job I have, given the uncertainty of the economy? Should I stay in that abusive relationship hoping that he or she will change? Should I continue to rent knowing that now is a good time to buy?
I have a few rules I use when making decisions. One is: when in doubt, don’t. If I am not sure about the decision I am about to make, I pause for a while and rethink it. Another rule I have is: stick with the original plan. It’s kind of like the old saying, “don’t change horses in the middle of the stream.” When I start changing plans after I have set them, I seem to cause problems for myself and everyone else. My third rule is: pray about it. Prayer is an amazing thing. It’s not so much that it brings answers, it’s that it brings peace.
Whatever decisions your day brings, I pray that you will make them in peace and in confidence. God bless your day.
