decisions decisions decisions

I've come to a conclusion this week; making decisions drives me nuts!

I can be pretty indecisive at the best of times, so having to make a decision about what to do in 2009 was a hard one. It was one that where I've been seeking Gods wisdom and praying for a long time. There seemed to be so many options! I prayed that God would open and close doors as he pleased, but he seemed to be opening too many to choose from. I agonised for a long time about what to do. Would I stay here in Melbourne, would I go back to Newcastle to finish uni, or would I move to Sydney and finish uni by correspondence. None of them were bad options. All of them would provide opportunities to serve God. It would have been alright.

I would sit back at night and pray for God to close some doors. I didn't want to take responsibility and make a decision, but as it was pointed out to me this week, God gave us a brain to make decisions, so why not make one and see what happens from there?

So I've made a decision! I'm returning to Newcastle in 2009 to finish up with uni. I've also made another decision. I've decided (or Gods prompted me to!) put pen to paper on my initial forms for Training College. Scary, but exciting!

I'm so thankful that I have a God i can consult when deciding what to do. His way is the best way. That doesn't mean I can take no responsibility for what happens in my life, because "Gods given you a brain Ness, use it!".

Thanks Martin!

For Him Alone
