Big decisions are often not easy to make. Especially when either way can be life changing. It involves tons of thinking and fights between the heart and the mind. We may come to a decision today and to another tomorrow.
Standard advise from a fellow Christian will be to pray about it. However, even when we see signs from God and probes from the Spirit, we still doubt if we had interpret God's signals wrongly, if we had simply interpret it the way we want to or if it's simply something with no real meaning which we conveniently see it as answer from above. Lots of 'what if's'....
It's hard, especially when it involves things or people we care about deeply. Don't we just wish sometimes someone - or God will just jump right out and tell us to go right or left? That is what i had been wishing, but I know, it's a very irresponsible thought. Quoting from Aaroink;
” Well, to be completely honest and personal, I don’t believe that God will boom in his low-key voice and say, “Do exactly this,” or “Do exactly that,” and save the day. But I believe that God allows us to make our own decisions and He will give us the wisdom (our heads) and grace (our hearts) through the Holy Spirit (who is already in us) to do so."
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5
Today I woke up and saw this;

So if you feel afraid and unworthy today, Jesus says, “Don’t be afraid – I’ve got a new life for you.”
And I said, 'I know' =)

#What's written below is purely of my own understanding and not out of any theology research.
What some people thinks:
There's no need to tell him/her what I think or how I feel. I'm sure that he/she knows, and that is what matters.
If communication and expression of love/care is not needed just because we expect the other side to know how we feel, than few things that would be totally unnecessary are prayers, praise and worship. God is knows all, of what we thinks, our deepest desire and secrets, our sins.. Why confess when He already knows what we committed? Why pray when He already knows what we want? Why tell Him how much we adore Him when He already knows?
I believe these communications help us build a personal relationship with Him. He wants us to talk to Him, just like we would a friend, a Father, to open to Him and trust Him with all we have. God made us like Him. Therefore, we need and crave just as much. Communication is a bridge that closes the gap between two persons and non-communication builds the wall that shunt people off.
Most important think ever is to love God and to love people. Thus, get connected to God and connect to people.
So it's important to say what you feel, but it's also important to mean what you say. me thinks......

When I was small, and Christmas was magical
It was a season of gifts and wonders
All I cared about was the inside
of those beautiful wrapped boxes
When I was older and knew
of that little Child born in the manger
For it me it was a heart-warming tale
Pictures of cozy hays, cute animals
bright shining stars and adoring shepherds
Only when I could understand better
what You were destined on this Earth for
slashed and whipped for our sins
a spotless Lamb, sacrificed
like a rose, trampled on the ground
to erase the wrongs on our behalf
Your birth signify something more
than Christmas tree, bells and holidays
You present to us gift of life, paid for
with Your pure and sacred blood
You snatched us from the valley of death
So we can come home to You one day
Thank You, Lord
Happy Birthday =)

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you give your heart
You get it all broken up and battered
That's what you get, a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again

That's what you get, a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
sometimes, isn't it better if I just don't feel? hmmmmm
