What should i do?
Well, I need to make a big decision in the next couple days, and this famous commercial epitomizes how I feel quite well!
God has been teaching me that I need to learn how to say no and not feel guilty about it. But...should I downgrade a plan I've had for almost a year in grad school? The plans I make for myself change often and I need to not let it frustrate me, because it is prideful when I try to decide what is the best plan for myself. Well, here is a good verse to take comfort in as I wait to see where God is going to lead me in this debacle :)
"I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out--plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." Jeremiah 29:11, MSG
I'm not exactly sure what kind of future I'm hoping for, but i pray that my indecisiveness points all the more toward the One who really does have it all together!
