Big Decisions

So, lately in my life, I've decided to make some pretty big decisions. Sometimes I wonder how my decisions will affect my life for the positive or negative.

I made a decision about men a while back, and I'm still feeling good about the decision. I tried the online dating scene for a bit, but after some creepy guys emailing me and asking me out, I decided I was done on there forever. But through this process, I realized that I really was tired of pursuing men. It seems if I ever wanted to go on a date or my married friends wanted to do something, I was always asking the guys out. So, I decided that I was tired of pursuing, but instead wanted to be pursued. I'm not quitting dating altogether, although with my dating experience, it may look that way. I just feel like if a guy wants to go out with me, he can call me and ask me.

I've also been toying around with the decision to purchase a house. Its such a good time right now to do so and now that I'm mostly out of debt, I'm considering taking a huge leap of faith. I will be making a 30 year commitment. I've prayed about the decision and feel good about it. I'm hoping to find some roommates that can help me if I get into a house.

I've also been toying around with getting a second job to help supplement my income. I love my job at LDSBC and I love teaching piano, but I'm thinking another steady job to help me put money away into savings for a rainy day would be good. I'm single right now, so why not. Its an interesting idea for me to think about.

So, with all the big decisions I'm making, I'm hoping that they are the right ones. Things will work out for the best, I know they will. Now for that leap of faith . . . sometimes the first step is the scariest. Wish me luck!

Big decisions indeed. I had to make the same decision about boys. And if there is one worth pursuing, he'll come along and equally pursue! Exciting news about the house too... can't wait to hear!

Wow! A lot on your plate. I think those are all great decisions. Getting a second job will certainly help you build up some savings or pay off debt but make sure you still have time to do the things that you love and take time out for yourself. Good luck!

You are making some big decisions, but it's good that you are making them instead of standing still. That's how it works, you pray, you decide and you move forward. Heavenly Father will guide you as long as you keep moving forward and you keep the radio tuned to his station. Just remember he is in control and he will take care of you.
