I feel at a loss recently to even begin to process the amount of questions that are being asked of me. I feel like every time that I turn around there is another question to answer, another situation where I need a game plan to address.
I used to be able to sit down with my Bible and my computer and a journal and just write and write until it all was spilled out on paper and I could fully process everything that needed answered. This just isn't the case anymore and its discouraging. Or maybe its more like my messy room, which doesn't actually take that long to organize, but just looking at the piles is overwhelming and I choose not to do it, afraid that I won't be able to accomplish it all or that I'll uncover something that will take even longer to do.
In a lot of respects I miss being able to write out everything and come to a place of peace. I wonder if I was ever supposed to loose that? I mean, from a spiritual perspective... does God allow me to loose that from time to time for my growth? Or is it something that I am lacking in relation to Him?
See... even talking about the questions brings up another set of questions. You can see how my avoidance of it all would be a valid option!
But I don't want to be that kind of girl, so I find that I have to face these tough decisions and I have to present a courageous face to new opportunities, and a loving farewell to my comfort zone of indecision.
Once a dear friend and mentor of mine (he's more like another uncle to me really) shared with me that any time I knew what the decision before me was and I knew the right choice, staying in indecision was as much disobedience to my Lord as if I had blatantly chosen the wrong.
I've come back to that truth many times in my life, and even passed it on a couple of times to other people who wrestled with choosing the right (but infinitely harder) thing. This is one of those times. But I will choose to do the next right thing. Boldly will I step forward where His hand leads. Shaking but unfaltering steps of confident obedience.
Its time to reload and regroup. Digging in is no longer an option, its time to go on the offensive. The battle plans are before us. We are charging the front lines and there is no room for error. Hesitation means death and indecision is weakness which the enemy may use to his advantage.
Will you choose to leave behind the questions and follow in the quest? I am.
