"Making Hard Choices" Genesis 24:1-67
1. What hard choice is confronting you today?
Today I don't have HARD choices just every day annoying ones. What chores should I do today? What can I let slide today? What should I eat today that will not make me morbidly obese? Should I wake up the little ones or just bask in the silence? But I guess when it comes to me every choice is hard- even all these small dumb choices.
2. What factors make your decision difficult?
The factors that make my decisions difficult is usually my mood. If I am in the right frame of mind and prepared I feel I can make even very difficult decisions. If I am given plenty of time to think about it and possibly seek council and prayer then it is not so difficult. Also I tend to over think things so any decision ends up being difficult.
3. How is God asking you to trust him in this situation? Will you obey him?
There is one situation (not really my choice) that I need to trust him. I need to trust that sending my children to public school is ultimately obeying my husband's wish, no matter how it turns out. I will obey, but I will still feel a little worried. I am not too worried about the kids so much as I am worried about myself- which is worse because now it seems like I am a really selfish person. I have very little direction because I don't have a "career" mind. I just want to get through life with as little bumps and bruises along the way. I don't have any ambition or confidence in myself. That is where I need to trust God and I feel like I know myself well enough to know this isn't going to turn out so well, but we will have to wait and see.
