Two bits

1: www.idrive.com I came home today and was trying to get my computer to turn on. It took about 15 minutes and I finally got the error screen saying my computer didn't shut down correctly so it was having a hard time booting up....yah think??? Anyway, after I finally got it booted up. I immediately found an online service that will back up my files for me. For $4.95 a month it will back any and all files that I choose. I have thousands of pictures and I am terrified that the laptop will fry and I will lose them all. So as I type, www.idrive.com is backing up several thousand files. Sigh....hopefully all is well.

2. This weekend a big decision will be made in our lives. We are pretty sure we know what our answer is, but we have to wait for others to make their decision as well. So depending on their answer, we might be headed for a huge change. So anyway, pray for us that all the right things will happen and that we stay in the middle of God's will for us. So far so good.

Advice Accepted

I have said more than once in my short 26 years, that "There is a fine line between stepping out in faith and being stupid." I still think this is true. I am at a point in my life right now where I need to make a decision and I am having a hard time with the options. One is adventurous, throwing caution to the wind, possibly stupid. The other is safe, secure, steady, but I don't know if it is the right thing either.

Surely some of you folks have been in a serious decision phase and had these thoughts yourselves. Basically it boils down to, I am not sure which decision would honor God the most. What if I make the "possibly stupid" choice and it turns out a disaster, or the "secure" choice and it turns out miserable? Jay and I only want what God wants, but we are torn in our decision because neither choice is jumping up and down, yelling "Pick me, pick me!" So how do we make a decision? Fasting and lots of prayer have been involved (in case you were going to suggest those) and prayer by those around us has also been sent heavenward. Everything is still foggy. I would love to get a ton of comments on this post especially from those who have been there.

(Oh, and did I mention....there is a timeline involved, thus the stress)
