I finally did it!

I have been wanting and talking about creating a blog since at least June and now, November 10, I am creating my first post.  Part of the reason it has taken me so long to start was deciding on a name.  I came up with many and just couldn't decide.  Missy, my best friend, suggested "Indecisive Little Me" because I am wishy-washy and am always having trouble making decisions.  However fitting the name is, it is a trait I need to shed.  I want the Gentle yet strong, Peaceful, Beauty of Christ to radiate from me not indecisiveness.  When I read James 1:6-8 NKJV  "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."  I am convicted because I am unstable, I doubt and worry about every decision that I must make until I'm sick.  Where is my confidence?  Where is my faith?  And my strength?  All these things should be found in God, the Creator of all things.  The One who goes before me and also follows, yet for some reason I allow anxiety to creep in from insignificant things.  "I think" the first step is believing and knowing that God will make me strong and stable.  In fact, I already know that He is carving the hesitant, doubtful, scared, weak, undecided, and unstable out of me because of where I am right now, Grand Cayman...
