Day 101 - Decisions

You don't always know the exact course you will travel in life.  You will have times along the way to make decisions.  Some may be small and hold little significance.  Others are hard to make and can take your life on an entirely different course.  Some are easy and some require bold moves.  I'm in that hard situation right now.

In my life I have developed passions and most involve my faith and my profession.  A few incorporate both.  I'm in a combo right now and all I can do is trust God that the decision I make is His will for me and that He will make reasoning sense to me of it all.

Lord, I have chosen to submit my will to Yours.  I am faithfully progressing in an avenue I sense is Your direction.  Please help me to walk out faith.  I trust You completely.  Amen

So as I sat down beside the crying young lady.  I put my arm around her shoulder.  I looked her in the eyes and said, "I know how you are feeling. I, too, have been hurt by infidelity.  It is hard knowing that another person will be hurt by the actions of your spouse.  The rejection is huge, the pain is real and the agony about what you know about another couple is tearing at your heart.  The decision you make here and what you do is huge.  Let's not move until you are confident to have done two things.  Number one, you have to offer the sacrifice of forgiveness and then you have to ask God for His wisdom on your next move. Can you do that?"  Through her tears she shook her head yes.  We both bowed our heads and I began to pray.
