Decisions have never come easily to me. I tend to process slowly and deeply, which has its pros and cons.
Once made, a single decision can change the entire direction of one’s life. So we want to make the right choices and feel confident the outcome will be good. We want to experience peace with where the choice takes us and not have to worry about undoing our lives from a mistake.
This is true no matter what stage of life we are in – single, newly married, parenting younger children, or parenting adult children.
I recently read a quote:
“Integrity: the courage to meet the demands of reality.”
(Dr. Henry Cloud)
As we navigate changes and transitions in our lives, we must do so with integrity, with a soundness and wholeness of mind that is not impaired by fear.
Therefore, to move forward in our decisions will require courage.
We cannot let fear gets its grip on us or we will panic, hide, freeze, run, or just stand still. Indecision will keep us stuck instead of moving forward. We will be unable to meet the demands of reality.
So what are we to do?
I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE as we discuss how we obtain “the courage to meet the demands of reality.”

Oh, how great it is to live a life that is truly “Free”, in Christ, my friend. As for unhindered, I think part of our joy is what allows us to know that once we’ve made a decision, there’s no value in looking back. Accept the consequences of our choice, learn and grow from it, and keep moving forward. The best decision we can ever make is to say “Yes” to Christ. God’s blessings, ma’am.
