Let me preface this by saying that this is more of a "thinking out loud" post than anything else. I'm not necessarily writing about a personal situation.
I think that sometimes we forget that life is always about standing at a fork deciding which way to go. Some people are more of a quick decision maker and can just say, "Right" or "left". Not me. I need time to mull it over and weigh the options. I have to look at each position on the whole and weigh the pros and cons and then weigh them again. I am a careful thinker and I'm not much for the "fly by the seat of your pants" philosophy of things.
I'm also a bit of a panicker. What if I go left and then I was supposed to go right? Then I'm spending all of my time retracing my steps back to the fork so I can go right? Then again, maybe I can just cut across but then there's no path there so I'm in uncharted territory which is dangerous.
Here's the bottom line. Worrying is like a rocking chair; you can rock all day but you're not gonna go anywhere (and no that's not verbatim and it's NOT my quote). All I can do is do the best I can and take a leap of faith when it's necessary. Here's to hoping that all of my forks in the road past, present and future have God's hand protecting and guiding them every step of the way.
