I’m teaching RS on Sunday from Elder Rasband’s talk “By Divine Design”. I didn’t have any great reason for picking this talk but I’m amazed at how the Lord just worked through that talk in my life to lead me to this blog post. My husband and I have some major decisions to make and have been struggling doing so. This spoke so much peace to my heart on how to proceed. I believe it was By Divine Design that I was led here-there aren’t coincidences ?. Thank you for being inspired to write this in 2016 for me today!

This is wonderful advice!! I love that you said pray! Especially as a couple!!
Then fasting! I haven’t done that in years, which is wrong.
Thank you!!

This is a beautiful post. Something that I try to keep in mind is that most decisions can be altered. If you make that move and then decide it was a mistake, you’re not stuck there forever. If you take that job and then discover it was the wrong job for you, you can find another one. Very few decisions are set in stone once they are made.

After 12 years of employment – 9 of them spent not really liking my job, but afraid of what was next – my work situation became untenable. I was faced with the decision of staying there and behaving immorally, or walking away. I left. And it was scary and hard; but now that the dust has settled I think, ‘To think that I stayed at a job I didn’t even like for all those years, just because I was scared of what would come next!’ What has come next hasn’t all been roses; but it’s allowed my husband to pursue his dreams; it’s allowed me to go back to grad school; it’s also allowed me to be there for a family member who has had to undergo gruelling cancer treatment and to spend more time with our children. Having faith to step into the abyss is hard; but I do feel that angels have been there to catch me and carry me to safety. I should be finished with grad school by October (assuming I pass everything!) and I am still not sure about what will come next; but I’m learning to trust God and lean in.

This is super advice, Katelyn. Thanks for the reminders. I have found these things to be helpful in past decision-making. Sometimes, when I feel stuck, I’m doing some but not all of these. Working through all of them is helpful for getting “unstuck.” God wants us to find His will for our lives; He will help us, even if we don’t see it all at once.
