Which way?

Ever feel like you're standing at a fork in the road. Considering which is the best way to go?

Do you choose the left or the right? With both ways look equally worn and equally overlaid with un-trodden leaves, how then do you decide which is the best way to go... Do you just start walking?  What if you end up at a dead-end? Or you reach another crossroad ~ do you continue guessing which way to go?

Every day, we make hundreds of decisions. Most are so mundane that we don’t even think about them.

Like:
* should we get up when the alarm rings or hit the snooze button a few times
* what to have for dinner
* what to wear to work
* coke or pepsi
* which bathroom stall to enter

Some are easy, others, more difficult.

How do you make decisions?

Do you write out the pros & cons? Do you flip a coin? Pray? Seek advice from family & friends? Do you search the internet googling how to make decisions?

Or do you turn to the Good Book and read: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:6 & 7 {New International Version {NIV} }

We find ourselves at a crossroad in our lives. And, it's these life changing decisions that do not come easy for me. I tend to procrastinate and think long and hard before deciding, trying to determine which is the best way for us. It's like we're standing at a fork in the road, and we're hesitating on which way we should go.  Since we cannot see what's around the bend, and unless we want to stand in the woods forever, we must make a decision. 

I’m not sure that there is a Right path ~ just the chosen path and the other path.

So whichever road we travel, we must first take a step of faith “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28 {New Living Translation {NLT}}

What do you do when you have trouble with making a decision?
