Most decision are made with little to no thought. I will push snooze just one more time. I'm having eggs for breakfast. I'll have tea this morning instead of coffee. I think I'll take a bath not a shower. I'll change the living room around (again). Walk or ride? cake or ice cream? jeans or shorts? All decisions with very little thought behind them. But what happens when it comes to the bigger issues? When there are two ways to go and neither of them wrong or sinful? Which path do we trod? Both have their advantages as well as disadvantages. Both have bumps along the way and ruts to avoid. Both offer some sort of comfort as well as discomfort. There will be tears shed regardless of the choice. And there is always the unknown just around the bend which you can't see until you're on the path. Which way do we go when God would be honored in either? How is the final decision decided? When there's no going back can we be certain? A true test of faith is always in a decision.

OK that was annoying...I typed out my comment hit submit and off into cyber space it went!!!!! So here goes again.
Wow 2 posts in 1 month! What a treat for me! I miss you. We are doing good...I feel soooo busy but its good.
As far as decisions pray hard...and if still there is no clear direction I play eeny-meeny-miney-moe (is even how you spell that?) Just kidding....I weigh the cost of either choice and then I play eeny-meeny-miney-moe!
I still wish we lived closer together...still have not found anyone who compares with the Klose's.
Love ya,

Choosing tea over coffee is a huge decision!
I'm reading Don't Waste Your Life to the kids during devotions right now, so, in light of that, here's my answer: (1) If both choices are God honoring.
(2) You've been in prayer about it and there is no clear answer (which probably led you to believe-in part- that both choices would honor God.
(3) Then I would ask myself, which would cause me to enjoy God to a greater extent.
Oh, and I agree with Jack coffee or tea is huge!
i'll just have water thanks!
Believe it!
I am kicking your butt! Guess things never change. Just call me the king of posts.
