Decisions & Voices

Life is full of them. Some decisions are big, some are small. Some come easily, some are wrestled for at length and at great cost. Some change lives in a split second, some don't have much impact at all. But really, I think its hard to know the difference, in the moment.

Something that seems insignficant might really change a life- something that is long in coming, might not be nearly as important in hindsight.

We are faced with a decision this week. Its hard to know how important it really is- it came out of nowhere, and suddenly has overtaken our thoughts, prayers & energies. Some moments it seems H-U-G-E, other moments we giggle at ourselves for taking life so seriously.

God sometimes speaks in a loud, mesmerizing voice that is impossible to miss or ignore. Other times, I think He places the faintest echo of a whisper in our hearts that almost seems delicate & fragile.

Its a challenge to make what feels like a big decision based on a whisper of a voice. But nonetheless, "His sheep know His voice" and for me, that is enough.
