The Right Thing To Do
Sometimes I’m plagued by guilt. I attribute that to my lovely Catholic upbringing; I don’t even need someone to MAKE me feel guilty, I can do it ALL BY MYSELF.
But sometimes I think the guilt I lay on myself is much more harsh than anyone could lay on me from the outside.
In life, the high road is usually pretty easy to find; if it sucks, then that’s the high road. Granted, sometimes it only sucks for a little while because good things are not supposed to come easy… you have to work for them. I’ve gotten pretty good at taking this road. In the past few months, the high road has lead to some amazing things.
But what happens when you’re not sure which one is the high road anymore? When you start to enlist the opinions of others, when your loyalties are swayed by outside sources, suddenly everything that was once crystal clear becomes a big old muddy mess… and you’re left wondering if you’re going the right way… or worse yet, you’re stuck in one spot, knowing full well you can’t go backwards, but you can’t really go forward, either.
The road ahead of me has a fork in the path. Unfortunately, I can’t see past all the dust in the air to know which way to go. But I know either way, there are bumps ahead at a time I long for smoother asphalt…

Ahh the fork in the road. The test to see if you can make the right decision. You look over and there just aren’t any road signs to be seen. So which road does a person take when there just aren’t any signs to say. You could take the odds and say that you stand a 50/50 chance. Friends will give you their road signs and you could take theirs or you can close your eyes and pray for the one you need. It may take a little while to get your answer, but maybe that’s because you aren’t suppose to take either road until the answer comes.

I have to agree with “PS”- also it was so hard for you and I to walk away from the Catholic church but this is one of my “pre-Catholic” versus that use to help me–(Proverbs 3:5 ) So, Until you get your answer,
MAYBE YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK and let the road get resurfaced, repaired or bypass it completly.
