Decisions..

I've been quiet for a bit. We are trying to make some very important decisions as a family. Decisions we thought we'd already made but in revisiting the why, both my husband and I want our expectations to be clearly understood by each other. This brings a certain amount of deep thinking to the surface and it always acts as a purifier for motives as well as a clear glimpse into the other's thinking. *things are not always as you imagine in the other spouses head..lol*..

It is important to do the right thing in every decision, to not have ulterior motives and be able to look back with a clear conscience. It is important to not only think in terms of oneself, but in terms of everyone involved. How will this affect my husband, myself and our children? God tells us in decision making to always make the choice for Him..He says to seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. As a family, we have continually done just that and striven to live for God to the best of our ability. He has rewarded us in many many ways.

I think of the multiple stories of people's lives in the Bible and how we, as the reader, can quickly ascertain whether the decision was a good one or not. Unfortunately, we are not given our lives in a prerecorded book or manual, though I have often wished it so. See, hunny, it says..In 2011 we are to move here and do this, and this will be the outcome, and this is what comes next. Don't we all wish for this? The important thing to remember is that we serve One who is in the future, who has been in the past, and is now in our present. He does have the answers and trusting Him for direction is the key to decision making.

Just thought I'd pop on and say why my blog is a bit quiet currently :)

The backdrop of this is my daughter practicing *Light of the world* softly, my 16 yo son just came in telling me he is finished planting our mini garden plants..baby is happy in her pack n play..the 7 yo is playing with her of his own accord...Truly, God is good and HE will guide us!!

Blessings on your day!
