Leap of faith.

There is a country music song that is stuck in my head right now.

Take a leap of faith, wash away your doubt, honey come what may we can work it out. The first step's always the hardest one to take. Take a leap of faith!

Hold up. I know what you're thinking. That I'm trying to brainwash my husband into a third? Nope. Like I said he and I balance each other out, we are perfect for one another so if he isn't feeling it then we aren't supposed to go with it. I truly truly believe that. Just as if I wasn't feeling something and he was it would work the same way. He's just a whole lot better at swaying me over to his side than I am.

I will admit that it all started with our discussion and how I had felt guilty that I didn't want to analyze and mull over and disect like my husband does with all of his decisions. He is a highly intelligent well thought out individual who is most definately who I go to for advice in all things complicated, but hold up a second. This does not make me wrong or mean that I think my way is not the better way.

Sometimes my husband analyzes things so much that they never happen because he can't decide which one to go with. Thus today's post.....

Are you struggling with a decision? Are you over thinking something that seems to be a massive point in your life? Are you worried that you are going to make the wrong decision? I challenge you to change your perspective a little. If you are really truly struggling and both ways seem to be equal on the pros and cons for all people involved then I want you to realize something. There just might not be a wrong decision.

You have to realize that the choice you make is the right one. No matter what happens, be it good or bad you can't look back and think if only I had chosen the other path. You can't do that. The other path might have had a big grizzly bear on it that would have eaten you in the first five minutes of your choice. You don't know!

God's big huge plan that we are completely incapable of seeing in its entirety is wonderful and perfect and hard and challenging. There will be struggles. There will be pain. All that we go through makes us who we are.

When you were a newborn baby you couldn't do anything for yourself, but as you grew and your brain began to form and you were introduced to new and different things your body adapted to what you had learned and you grew from it. You became the person you are today from all of the situations and choices and people that you have been surrounded by for your entire life.

This choice you are struggling with will it kill you? Will it kill someone else? Does it go against the 10 commandments? Then just put the two choices in a hat pick one and go with it. Whole heartedly absolutely go with it. If you look back and worry that you made the wrong choice it will do you absolutely no good.

Live the life that God has blessed you with and live it to the fullest. Stop worrying about making sure the path you are on is the right one. As long as you keep your heart and mind open to what God has in store for you. You will be fine. No Grizzly bears. I promise.

Have fun on your leap!
