Decisions.

I'm just gonna come out and say it,
I hate decisions.
 People tell me its because I'm a two or because it's the way I am but it doesn't make any difference to me. Decisions are hard, confusing, and stressful. I always get really worried when I have a decision that must be made. What if I choose the wrong thing? What if it doesn't work out? What then?

Some decisions are pretty obvious. Some are less so, but still fairly easy. Some are harder, take more work and concentration, I believe all decisions should be made with God's help. He knows best, right? He already knows what is going to happen!

So....

Since I hate making decisions some times the only thing I want to do is do nothing, to ignore it and hope it goes away. Maybe it is for this reason that my favorite quote was this one by Theodore Roosevelt: "In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." It is comforting to know that even doing the wrong thing is better than doing nothing.

Often in young women's or primary I was told to 'make the decision now rather then later' what does that even mean? Obviously we can't make all decisions early in life but we can make some. Are some decisions more important then others? We made a pretty big one to come down to earth and gain a body to go through this mortal experience. Did we make decisions before that in heaven? Will we continue to make decisions after we die? I guess we will just have to wait and see :)

If decisions are so important to Heavenly Father then maybe I should learn to love them more... I guess its time to look up some scriptures :D

Good luck deciding! Click here for the link to my word study!

  2. I enjoyed your thoughts and word study. Decisions are hard, but I have found that having to make decisions in one of the ways I move closer to God. I grow a lot by seeking His will. And I find great comfort in knowing that if I really am seeking that, He wont let me go far down a wrong road before he shows me the right one.

  3. Later desisions are more easy if you decide them earlier. BYU basketball player said that if he had made the desision to go on a mission when he was old enough would have been hard but he had made the decision long before.

  4. Love love love it! I can relate. :) that quote really hit me... Doing nothing is worse. I think sometimes we have to take a step into the unknown a little and go forward with faith, so that God can help us decide. He can't help us if we aren't willing to take a scarey step for Him once in a while. :)
