When faced with a decision
Of difficult degrees,
I tried to solve it on my own,
And so pride drove me to my knees.
My heart was weak and sad,
And in my indecision
I bowed my sinful head and asked
For God to be my vision.
I waited hours, days, and weeks,
But just when hope was lost,
He answered me and gave me peace
To follow Him and pay the cost.
Now I shall never doubt Him
For He has spake to me
The words that never shall grow dim -
"I always shall be with thee."

Thank you
I wrote this last year when I was having a difficult time choosing between a year-long serving opportunity and going to youth group and other such things. I truly wanted to do what God wanted me to do, but it was so difficult when His will seemed to go against what I wanted. Now, when I look back, I see that God really did know what was best for me. I am caught up in making the same decision this year, but I'm fairly certain that I will end up serving again. And this time, I am not hesitating!
