Those Who Trust

Making decisions is inevitable in life. Whether big or small, decision-making can be stressful, exhausting, and scary. But what if the decision itself isn't the point? We have been reading a book called “The Next Right Thing” by Emily P Freeman, and today we're gonna dive into some of the topics covered in the first few chapters. This book has been very eye-opening and helpful in the midst of craziness and new seasons. In the midst of a big change or a decision that needs to be made, it's important to acknowledge our fears, make space for God to speak, and remember that we don't need to worry about every detail of the future, but rather where God has us right now. It's all about trusting that God is with you as you walk in obedience and take the next right step.
