Peaceful Determination

Anyone who has ever had to make a major decision knows just how "unpeaceful" it can be. The worries about whether or not one is making the right choice, the sleepless nights not knowing if what choice you've made will have a postive impact on your life or a negative one.

I am at that point in my life. The worries of finances, the decisions of how to help my mother in the best way possible, and trying to make sure that the path I am trying to find is the one that God has for me.

Faith plays a big part in making decisions in your life. Keeping fear from being the driving force is a big hurdle for me. You've heard people say we can be our own worst enemy? Well, I am that and more.

I try to believe in myself, but most of the time I tell myself I can't "step out" of my comfort zone. I have a friend who has told me many times in the past few years that I need to step out and take that leap of faith, but be willing to put the muscle behind the faith. She's right!

I love my friends. I don't have a ton of them, but the ones I do, are so important to me and mean everything to me. I know I can count on them to tell me straight up what's what.

So, for once in my life I'm going to do just that...step out of my comfort zone and do something for me. I believe, with God's help, my husband's support and my "peaceful determination" I can do all things.....
