Have you ever wondered where you got the strength or wisdom to make a decision that ended up being one of the best decisions of your life, even though it was so incredibly painful at the time?
This happened to me. I won't bore you with all the details. I will tell you, though, at 18 yrs old I made a decision that would change the outcome of my life. It wasn't easy. I struggled with it for years. Did I do the right thing? Am I being fair? Am I following what God would do? I never changed my mind only felt the guilt of my decision.
I will tell you that the pain went away. The anger and resentment went away. The GUILT went away. Now all those feelings are feelings of empathy. I am reminded oh, say, every 6 months or so that I did the right thing. For myself. For my future husband (whom I had not met yet) and my future family (whom I had not even THOUGHT about yet).
Just know that sometimes we're faced with difficult decisions. If the answer feels very concrete to you, make it. Don't waiver. Deal with your feelings and move on. God shows me all the time that I did the right thing. I have total forgiveness in my heart. I'm at peace with my decision. And today...I have been validated once again, that my decision was the right one.
