oh, you stinker.

The difficulty of life is in choice. - George Moore

Dear Mr. Moore, I completely agree.

Lately, I've been studying and mediating on Proverbs 16. Why? Because I have so many life-alterning decisions to make in what seems to be such a small amount of time. What should I do this summer? What about school in the fall? And what should I do for spring break?? (I know that last one seems silly compared to the others, but honestly, too many cool choices to choose from).
Proverbs 16:3-4 says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will suceed. The Lord works out everything for His own ends- even the wicked for a day of diaster." So, i know that as long as Im following the Lord and walking in relationship with Him, God is going to work everything out for His own good and the good of the Kingdom. But, theres still decisions that have to be made. I cant just sit around and not do nothing. I have to take action, just as I have to take action in walking out my faith and walking in relationship with God each and everyday. I want to make the best decision and plan that will bring the most glory to my Lord Jesus Christ. And its tough to make a plan for your life without the help of God...I mean, I know I cant make the best descisions by myself. It's human nature to be selfish and not choose the choice that is best for the good of the Lord.
Its scary knowing the pros and cons about each and every descision that lies ahead of me.. But weighing out the pros and cons, listening to wisely counsel, staying grounded in the Word of God & prayer, and time is exactly what is best when I, and anyone else, am up against major decisions. aoy. it can be stressful, but take complete confidence that whatever happens, whatever decision that is made, will, in the end, work out for God's good.
Proverbs 16:9, "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."
