The Trouble with Decision Making
decisions are the very bane of my existence. i am not a decision maker. decisions are hard hard things for me. in stark contrast i know exactly what i want, what i like, and what i dont want nor like. you would think that having such clearly defined parameters for my interests and disinterests, would make my ability to determine between options easier, but no. being the inquisitive and easy influenced person i am, i am swayed by the slightest of comments, or the most miniscule hint of social alienation, the tiniest flare of insecurity, or a mere challenge of motive, and thus my sphere of like and dislike is constantly changing, hence rendering my decision making abilties ineffective. this extends to any and all choices i need make. the most prominent at the moment are those which will ultimately direct and impact upon the path for the rest of my life. i used to be relatively blase upon making these judgements, but only recently has the realisation of the gravity and the severity of these choices actually hit home. the immediacy and impact of the choices i make, and the way in which they can either postively or negatively influence my life has left me with a feeling of incapability to make these kind of choices. knowing that what i decide will not only affect me, but those i know and love, scares me to much, so much so, that i just dont want to decide anything for fear of putting anybody else out, or intefering with somebody plans. trying to come at this from a godly point of view, knowing that JC uses my decisions for His will, and trusting in His plan for my life, is not the easiest of things. i know my my head the previously stated facts, but letting them comfort me whilst in crisis-i-have-to-decide-something-important mode is a whole another story. PRAYER POINT. if you could. have many a heavy decision to make in the next little while, ministry, occupation, residence, relationship and miscellaneous related, and am struggling to put it all into prespective and rely on the big man. prayers and advice would be much appreciated.
trying to remember worry=bad; prayer=good, rhys.
