So, calling all you blogger friends. How do you guys analyze what you're feeling? How do you objectively look inside yourself and figure out what is going on? How do you make decisions? I don't know if I am just a stupid fickle girl, or if I've thought/talked my way into feeling a certain way, or there is a logical reason behind all my ponderings and emotions. Right now I feel like my life is paralyzed by unkown and indecision, and I don't know how to escape from that. Or maybe I just prefer chaining myself to indecision because it's easier than being afraid of chaining myself to a decision I'll regret or close myself off to an opportunity I would've wanted. I Just Don't Know! Help!

I'm kind of late on this one, sorry. I agree with what has been said, but I think I'll share a story! Last night I had to write a paper for a class... you know the situation, Melanie. I have two drops in the class, and I was tempted to use one of them for the paper I had to write last night because Sing Song and things had kept me busy most of them weekend. I was lazy, basically. I spent a lot of time trying to talk myself out of writing the paper. A lot of time. Then I was talking to a friend and I was frustrated because I had to make a decision!! When I started to think about it, though, I realized that the reason I didn't feel comfortable with the decision to not write my paper was that I didn't care about the paper. Apathy is bad. So then I started writing my paper and I immediately felt better. It was seriously instantaneous.
Now, I'm not telling you this to rub my decision being made in your face. :) I have a sneaking suspicion the decisions you're talking about are a bit harder than this decision of mine. I am, though, saying that I think the same basic principle applies to most hard decisions. We have intuition. It's developed through life, and it's based on things we know, experiences we've had, values we possess... that kind of thing. I think this was put in us for a reason. Like Marcella was saying sort of, you've probably already made a decision. I might get stoned for this, but I say follow your gut! Underneath all of that confusion I think we all know what we want/need to do. It's a matter of talking it out. Think it through in your head, talk to someone, talk to God... whatever. It's a matter of just sitting and working it out long enough, I think. There's not an easy way to really go about it.
Obviously intuition needs to be balanced, like everything else, against what is right and good. This might be getting into how you view the will of God, but I think God is willing and able to bless any path you choose. Maybe that all didn't help at all. I'm sorry if it didn't. :)
